ACOTAR Reread Plan: Finish Before October 27, 2026
Want to finish an ACOTAR reread before October 27, 2026? Start on September 17 and use the 40-day calendar below to revisit the five books already available. It leaves October 27 free for the new release, with a shorter option if a full reread does not fit your life.
By Bookish Closet. Release information checked September 16, 2026.
Spoiler notice: This guide names books and suggests note-taking prompts. It does not reveal endings, relationship outcomes or theories about the next book.
What release date are we planning around?
Sarah J. Maas's official website lists A Court of Splintered Harmony for October 27, 2026. Bloomsbury's book page confirms that date and places it after A Court of Silver Flames in the series.
The calendar is an editorial suggestion, not an official readalong. Check the author or publisher again before organizing a release-day event, and confirm availability with your own retailer or library.
Your 40-day ACOTAR reread calendar
Keep the books in publication order. The date ranges include both their first and last days; together they cover September 17 through October 26.
| Dates in 2026 | Book | Days |
|---|---|---|
| September 17–24 | A Court of Thorns and Roses | 8 |
| September 25–October 3 | A Court of Mist and Fury | 9 |
| October 4–12 | A Court of Wings and Ruin | 9 |
| October 13–15 | A Court of Frost and Starlight | 3 |
| October 16–26 | A Court of Silver Flames | 11 |
These are suggested allocations, not a claim that every reader needs the same time. Before you start, compare the page counts in your editions. Move a day between books if one stretch looks unrealistic. A calendar you can enjoy is more useful than an ambitious one that becomes homework.
Set a daily target that fits your edition
Divide the pages you still need to read by the days you can actually read. For example, 400 remaining pages across eight reading days means 50 pages per day. If two of those days are unavailable, the target becomes about 67 pages across six days.
That example is arithmetic, not an ACOTAR page count. Use your own edition, or divide your audiobook's remaining listening time by your available sessions. Leave a little space at the end of each book for missed evenings and book-club discussion.
Take four kinds of notes, not forty tabs of theories
- People: Write one sentence about each person's current situation when you finish a book.
- Places: Keep cities, courts and other locations in separate entries.
- Unresolved questions: Record the question and the book or chapter that raised it.
- Your predictions: Put these in a separate section labeled “theory.”
Separating text-supported details from predictions makes later discussion easier. If a theory video sounds convincing, ask where the underlying scene appears before adding its claim to your factual recap. You do not need a complete encyclopedia to enjoy the next book.
Only have two weeks? Try a refresher instead
For returning readers who already know all five books, use October 13–26 as a refresh window. Spend the first three days reviewing your notes from the earlier books, the next two revisiting the transition into Silver Flames, and the remaining nine on that book or your own detailed notes.
This is a practical compromise, not a replacement reading order for newcomers. If you cannot remember enough of the story to follow your notes, slow down and reread the relevant book. There is no prize for reaching the release date with a confused cast list.
Make your book-club check-ins easy to join
Agree on the book and chapter everyone has reached before opening a discussion. Ask questions such as “Which detail did you notice this time?” and “What is still unanswered at this point?” Keep future-book speculation in a separate thread.
For the reading-night side of the ritual, you can browse Bookish Closet's current bookish apparel selection. The calendar itself needs only your books, a place for notes and a pace that works for you.
