A Court of Thorns and Rosesturns 10 years one-time in May , and that get to it the perfect time to revisit the first book inSarah J. Maas ' fantasy series — though doing so is name me more desperate for one story in Koran six . AsixthCourt of Thorns and Rosesbookis already confirmed to be Maas ' next task , but the generator has yet to disclose a dismissal timeline , title , or which reference the write up will come after . Given thatA Court of Silver Flamestells Nesta and Cassian ’s report , many are hoping Elain Archeron will be next in line .
And that would be a respite , as re - readingthe firstACOTARbookis prompt me that we ’re long overdue for another corroborate player ’s story . give that Feyre spends much of book one at the Spring Court , the first installation focuses to a great extent on characters who acquire more venial role by and by on . Unfortunately , Maas has yet to come back to these side fiber , despite some of them being obvious contenders for their own narratives . If the nextCourt of Thorns and Rosesbook does turn out to be Elain’s , there ’s a prospect we ’ll get another long - awaited story , too : Lucien ’s .
Re-Reading A Court Of Thorns & Roses Is A Reminder Of How Great Lucien’s Character Was
His Character Development Drops Off In The Later ACOTAR Books
Re - readingA Court of Thorns and Roses,10 old age after its initial release , is draw me remember what a not bad character Lucien is in the first book . Although Lucien and Feyre get off on the wrong infantry — Lucien is intelligibly angry that Feyre killed one of his friends — their bond unravels into a genuinely compelling friendly relationship . alas , that does n’t last very long . When Feyre and Tamlin part way inA Court of Mist and Fury , she see herself at betting odds with Lucien as well . And the former books barely give him Sir Frederick Handley Page time , much less proper characterization .
Character deaths are never well-fixed to experience in any darling serial , but the weight of one could have done a religious service to ACOTAR ’s tale .
This is a shame , as Lucien bring much - needed mood to the narrative in book one , along with redeeming qualities that leave you wanting more of him — and a backstory that ask to be search in depth . The originalACOTARtrilogy does n’t deliver on that , though . In fact , it feels as though Lucien ’s character development completely drops off , despite late ledger revealing that he ’s Elain ’s mate . Because Lucien is n’t as compelling in late sequel , I ’d forget how great he was at the beginning . After revisiting Good Book one , I really wantACOTARbook six to return to him .
Revisiting The First ACOTAR Book Makes Me Want Lucien’s Story In Book 6 Even More
Giving Us His POV Would Make Up For Prior Sequels Sidelining Him
After experiencing what a great character Lucien was in the first book , I really want Maas to give us Lucien ’s history in book six . It ’s possible we ’ll get two-fold view in the next sequel , just asA Court of Silver Flamesfeatures both Nesta and Cassian chapters . Maas could make up for sidelining Lucien after book one by offer his POV , allowing readers to see the case ’s snarky mental capacity , loyalty , and other redeeming traits again . commit him his own narrative could also earmark him to set things correct with Feyre and Tamlin , neither of whom he ’s fully back to normal with .
If the nextA Court of Thorns and Rosesbook go this route , it would give the series an opportunity to dig deeper into other aspects of Maas ' populace .
tell apart Lucien ’s account would n’t just be fill from a type stand , either . If the nextA Court of Thorns and Rosesbook run this road , it would give the series an chance to dig deep into certain aspects of Maas ' existence , like faerie and human relations and the Autumn Court . Lucien is strongly tie to both , and these storylines are ripe for expansion in next book . With a properly characterized Lucien , such narratives could leaven compelling gain to Maas ' series . And there ’s a good chance we will get Lucien ’s story whenACOTARreturns , if one common belief proves true .
Why Sarah J. Maas Is Likely To Give Us This Overdue Story When ACOTAR Returns
If The Next Book Is Elain’s, Lucien Needs A Prominent Role
Although Maas has n’t confirmed that the nextCourt of Thorns and Rosesbook will follow Elain , it seems like a natural advance after telling Feyre ’s and Nesta ’s level . And if the upcoming novel is rivet on Elain , as so many readers are expecting , this all but guarantees that Lucien will have a big role . After all , Lucien is bring out to be her mate in the originalACOTARtrilogy , and Maas has yet to dig deeply into that kink . Even ifMaas subverts her usual fated mates trope , Lucien still call for to be present to reveal what becomes of the pair .
A fake title for A Court of Thorns & Roses book 6 emerge for April Fool ’s Day , and it would really earmark the series to say one long - awaited story .
This throw me self-confidence that Lucien will get the plot line he deserves , even after being drive away for so manyACOTARbooks . And after revisit the original 2015 novel , I ’m even more worked up by that expectation . It would be a waste to craft such a compelling persona inA Court of Thorns and Roses , just to drop them for good . For that reason , I ’m hoping Maas is just saving the good parts of Lucien ’s arc for a book more heavily focused on him .
