Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT For as much fun as the A Court of Thorns and Roses series is, I'm sorry to say it has a major stakes problem that's really holding the series back. The ACOTAR books have been huge in every sense of the word, even getting a Court of Thorns and Roses TV show adaptation .

A Court Of Thorns & Roses Struggles To Kill Off Major Characters The Way Death Works Is Inconsistent At Best Close I realize it's fiction, and in fiction, the writer can do whatever they want. Even so, Sarah J. Maas' series really struggles with killing off major characters. In fact, it struggles with killing off ally characters at all.

That said, while every writer struggles to murder their darlings, to be frank, I'm getting a little tired of the unrealistic plot armor of ACOTAR's major characters. There just really aren't many stakes. You know the couples will be together and mated in the end, so there really aren't any surprises with the romances beyond the anticipation of when they'll finally get together.

How The Next Court Of Thorns & Roses Book Can Fix The Series' Stakes Issue The Next Book Has To Make The Background Of War Mean Something Close This is why I'm hoping that the next ACOTAR book fixes the stakes problem – or rather, the lack of stakes problem. It's not that I am dying to see characters killed off. I'd be heartbroken to see any of the main characters die in the kind of way there's no coming back from. But, to me, it feels necessary at this point.
