Hey fellow readers, I'm looking to dive into Sarah J. Maas's books and could use some guidance on the reading order. Her works seem intriguing, but I'm not sure where to start. Any recommendations or insights on which series or book I should begin with? I'd love to hear about your experiences and preferences to make an informed choice and maybe spark a discussion about her fantastic world-building.

For those new to Sarah J. Maas's captivating world, I'd highly recommend starting with the [series_link_4411] (TOG) series. You can choose to begin with the prequel, [book_link_43172], for added depth or dive right into the first book, [book_link_28965], and circle back to 'The Assassin's Blade' at your convenience.

Once you've completed the TOG series, moving on to the [series_link_7152] (ACOTAR) series is a fantastic choice. If you want to avoid even minor spoilers and fully enjoy each series independently, it's a good idea to consider reading [series_link_9190] (CC) series last. This way, you can appreciate any connections or references without having the surprises from TOG and ACOTAR revealed prematurely.

One thing to keep in mind is that both the ACOTAR and CC series are ongoing, so you'll be eagerly awaiting new releases to continue the adventure. Happy reading!

Acotar probably...

I would start with ACOTAR, to completion. Then the TOG series, including the novellas.
Then hit up Crescent City. I think I picked up on more potential Easter egg stuff in TOG because I read ACOTAR first.
