With ACOTAR Book 7 Confirmed, 2027 Needs 1 Thing to Be Romantasy’s Biggest Year Yet

by

Readers of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series have been eagerly awaiting news about what comes next, and now it’s been revealed that three more books are planned. The sixth and seventh books in the ACOTAR series are expected to be released within the next year. The announcement of book seven is particularly exciting because it will be the quickest turnaround between installments in the series, and also the longest book so far.

2027 is shaping up to be an incredible year for romantasy fans, and that’s saying a lot given how popular the genre has become in recent years. With new books in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series already planned, the momentum is expected to continue. However, one upcoming release has the potential to make 2027 truly exceptional – possibly the biggest year yet for romantasy readers.

The New Fourth Wing Book Coming Out in 2027 Would Make It Romantasy’s Biggest Year Ever

While A Court of Thorns and Roses is widely credited with popularizing the romantasy genre and remains incredibly popular, Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean Series is quickly becoming just as big. Fourth Wing, released in 2023, immediately established itself as a standout in the genre, and its fanbase continues to expand with each new book. This growing popularity could make 2027 a huge year for romantasy fans, especially if the next Fourth Wing book is released around the same time as the seventh book in the ACOTAR series – creating a period of intense anticipation and excitement.

While it’s not certain, there’s a chance we could see the next book in the series relatively soon. Onyx Storm came out in January 2025, and the author, Yarros, has mentioned wanting to space out her releases and work on other projects in between. However, she recently shared on Instagram that she’s starting to plan the next installment, which is encouraging. If she begins writing the fourth Empyrean book this year, it might be released in late 2027, giving fans something exciting to anticipate.

More A Court of Thorns and Roses and Empyrean Series Books Will Keep the Romantasy Boom Going

Even if the next books in the A Court of Thorns and Roses and Fourth Wing series aren’t released in the same year, the popularity of romantasy isn’t likely to fade soon. While trends often lose steam, especially when a genre gets too crowded and predictable, that doesn’t seem to be happening here – at least not for a few years. The upcoming releases, including the next three ACOTAR books and the final Fourth Wing installments, will keep the genre thriving. Plus, there are plenty of other exciting romantasy books planned for 2026 and beyond.
