Books 1 to 4 follow Feyre. From book 5 the story shifts to her sister Nesta, and that shift isn't a side step: it's where the storyline that plays out in books 6 and 7 begins.

Either works. The English books are published by Bloomsbury, the Dutch ones by Van Goor under the name Hof van doorns en rozen. Books 6 and 7 come out in both languages on the same day, so even if you read in Dutch, you don't have to wait for the translation.

Want to start in one go? Then the English box set with books 1 to 5 is a lovely way to bring the whole series home.

The ACOTAR series by Sarah J. Maas is one continuous story, divided into four movements. Book 6 forms Movement I, while book 7 covers Movements II and III. Movement IV is still in development, so the story doesn't end with book 7.

Book 5 also plays an important part in this. That's where we meet the Valkyries, who are central to the new story arc.

With book 1, Hof van doorns en rozen (A Court of Thorns and Roses). Feyre kills a wolf in the forest and is taken to Prythian for it, the realm beyond the wall where the faeries live. What begins as a punishment becomes a story about power, courts and who you become when you can't go back.
