Frequently Asked Questions
Spoiler-Free
1. Do I have to finish TOG before ACOTAR 6 in October?
No, if you haven’t started the 8-book series by now, then target to read by ACOTAR 7 release in January.
2. What is the correct reading order and are there any mandatory reads?
Simple answer, ACOTAR first and CC last. Crescent City is highly recommended. Skipping it means you may be lost when we return to Prythian.
3. What are the ACOTAR 6 POVs?
Unconfirmed, but character arcs strongly point to Nesta, Azriel, Elain, or Lucien taking center stage.

4. What’s the timeline alignment?
This is the million-dollar question! The truth is we don’t know how the universes align. ACOTAR spans roughly 4 years. The last CC book (HOFAS) takes place 2 months after the last ACOTAR (ACOSF) ends.
5. Is Lidia related to Aelin?
Highly likely. Lidia shares Aelin’s signature golden hair, fire magic, and deer/stag shifter motifs.
6. Are the VALG the same as the ASTERI?
No, they are different. The Asteri (aka the Daglan) are star-traveling magic-parasites; the Valg are ancient shadow-and-pain demons. The main theory here is there may be a connection to the Princes of Hel.
7. What is the Azriel Dusk Court Theory?
The Prison Island is the lost Dusk Court. There are two shipping camps: Elriels vs Bryceriels, arguing that either Elain’s life-giving light or Bryce’s Starborn magic is destined to merge with Azriel’s shadow manipulation to resurrect the lost realm.
8. What is up with the Witches & Illyrians?
The legend of Enalius mirrors Crochan Queen Rhiannon’s 3-day stand, hinting male historians rewrote matriarchal witch history. There are many crossover similarities to suggest anyone from Mor to the Archeron sisters being Witches.
