Crescent City — Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to read ACOTAR before Crescent City?
No — House of Earth and Blood can be read cold. However, Book 2 (House of Sky and Breath) includes crossover characters from ACOTAR and Throne of Glass, so reading those first enriches the experience.
Is Crescent City finished?
House of Flame and Shadow (Book 3, 2024) continues the story. Sarah J. Maas has confirmed more books are planned for the series.
