A Court of Thorns and Roses author Sarah J. Maas has revealed the titles and book covers for the 6th and 7th instalments of her wildly popular romantasy saga, and fans are divided. The new candy-coloured aesthetic is a dramatic departure from the previous novels, suggesting an unexpected turn in the scandalous series.
I've been quite opinionated about romantasy book cover design in the past, so seeing Maas divert from her usual broody jewel-toned aesthetic has me torn. On one hand, it's great to see romantasy book covers divert from the trends. On the other, I don't know if this is the direction I'd hoped for.
