I want it to be satisfying and compelling for both fans of the A Court of Thorns and Rose series and fans of the Crescent City series Now anticipating its paperback release in May 2023, House of Sky and Breath sent long-time Maas readers reeling when the ending revealed a crossover between the Crescent City trilogy and Maas’ other series A Court of Thorns and Roses, confirming reader speculation that the Maas multiverse did indeed exist. “When I got the call from my editor that House of Sky and Breath had hit number number one in the New York Times bestseller list, I was elbow deep in baby poop!” With two young children and a 13-year-old “built like a brick” dog Annie, things are never dull.
“My children are the music I write to,” she laughs. It has become slightly harder to find opportunities to escape to the solitariness of her study and bask in the unadulterated delight of classical music since having children. Just putting on the classic channel, there’s something about it.” It is not a tech-pumped feat of engineering, it simply plays music, and it is the simplicity Maas yearns for: “I keep my little desk radio because I just like listening to the local radio. The successful hardback sales of House of Sky and Breath alone helped boost Bloomsbury’s profits in 2022.ĭespite her success, Maas is incredibly down to earth, speaking to me bedecked in a joyful “Bambi” jumper and proudly showcasing her slightly prehistoric-looking radio. Her oeuvre boasts three distinct fantasy worlds-the Throne of Glass series (eight books), the A Court of Thorns and Roses series (five books) and Crescent City-with 1.2 million print copies sold across all series and editions through Nielsen BookScan’s UK TCM.
"This has been years in the making, thinking about how the worlds connect and how you can move between them,” says Sarah J Maas as she talks to me over Zoom from rainy Los Angeles about House of Sky and Breath, the second instalment in the Crescent City trilogy, following House of Earth and Blood.
