Sarah J. Maas is the epitome and arguably the catalyst for the Romantasy and New Adult genre. Start off with either her Throne of Glass series or her A Court of Thorns and Roses series, but be sure to read both before reading her Crescent City series.

Maas is known within the fandom for ‘Maas Destructing’ in her novels and taking her readers on an emotional rollercoaster, where she expertly subverts her their expectations. Don’t get too attached… to anything! Prepare yourself for some quick wit, scorching romance, and a whole lot of smirking.
