The A Court of Thorns and Roses series, often called ACOTAR, is where many readers first fell into the Sarah J. Maas universe. It is also where the rabbit holes start getting very deep.

If you are rereading the series, trying to keep track of the characters, or just enjoy discussing the world of ACOTAR, you are very welcome to fall down this rabbit hole with me.
