Is That Prince Is A Girl: The Vicious King's Captive Slave Mate a happy ending romance?

There are seven main books in the Throne of Glass series. There's also one prequel novella, The Assassin's Blade.

So you'll see people call it an eight-book series when you count the novella.

Here's the order:

1. Throne of Glass
2. Crown of Midnight
3. Heir of Fire
4. Queen of Shadows
5. Empire of Storms
6. Tower of Dawn
7. Kingdom of Ash

You can read The Assassin's Blade first, or later on—it's up to you. It's a collection of prequel stories.

It really depends on what you want. Throne of Glass leans more epic fantasy. You get assassins, battles, politics, and a big world. The plot builds a lot over the series, and many readers think it sticks the landing better.

A Court of Thorns and Roses leans more romantasy. It's heavy on fae courts, romance, and spice. The emotional pull is huge, and it's easier to binge. But some readers find the later books messy.

So if you want plot and a badass heroine, Throne of Glass might win. If you want romance and court drama, ACOTAR is probably your pick. Neither is objectively better—just different flavors.

Yeah, it's worth reading—especially if you like fantasy with a badass heroine. The first book is a bit rough around the edges, but the series gets way better as it goes. Celaena is fun to follow, and the world opens up in a big way. If you stick with it, you'll get epic battles, magic, and a lot of emotional twists.

But it's not perfect. Some people find Celaena too arrogant at first, and the romance can feel a bit dramatic. Also, the series is long, so it's a commitment. Still, most fans say it's worth it. If you like strong characters and a story that grows, give it a shot.

So, Throne of Glass is about an 18-year-old assassin named Celaena Sardothien. She’s been a slave in a brutal salt mine for a year. Then the Crown Prince offers her a deal: if she wins a deadly competition against other killers, she’ll earn her freedom.

She goes to the capital to compete, but she hates the royal family because the King murdered her own family. While she’s there, she gets close to two very different men: the Crown Prince, Dorian, and the Captain of the Guard, Chaol. But then contestants start dying in gruesome, mysterious ways. Celaena’s fight for freedom turns into a fight for survival, and she has to figure out what evil is lurking in the castle before it gets her too.

Okay, so A Court of Splintered Harmony is the sixth ACOTAR book. The big bad is a death-god named Koschei the Deathless. He's been trapped for ages, but now he's stirring and gathering allies to attack the human lands.

The Night Court wants to stop him, but they're a mess. Everyone is still recovering from the last war. On top of that, recent betrayals have left the group divided and reeling.

So the whole story is about them trying to fix their broken bonds. They have to pull together and rebuild their old alliances. If they don't, they won't be strong enough to fight Koschei's rising shadow.

Yes, it is. A Court of Splintered Harmony is the official sixth book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series by Sarah J. Maas. It's also subtitled "The Valkyrie Cycle, Movement I".

1. A Court of Thorns and Roses
2. A Court of Mist and Fury
3. A Court of Wings and Ruin
4. A Court of Frost and Starlight
5. A Court of Silver Flames
6. A Court of Splintered Harmony

That's the easiest way to follow the story. A Court of Splintered Harmony is the sixth book.

A quick heads-up, though. This book is part of a new story arc called "The Valkyrie Cycle." It picks up after the events of the Crescent City series, so reading those books first might help you catch all the connections. But if you just want to stick with the main ACOTAR books, the list above will get you where you need to go.

There are five main Game of Thrones books out so far. The series is called A Song of Ice and Fire, and the author plans seven total. So two more are still coming.

There are also a few side books, like Fire & Blood and the Dunk and Egg stories, but those aren't part of the main story.

Read them in publication order. Start with A Game of Thrones, then A Clash of Kings, A Storm of Swords, A Feast for Crows, and A Dance with Dragons. That’s the main series so far. Books four and five overlap, but reading them one after another works fine. Save the side books for later.
