10 Things That Need To Happen If Sarah J. Maas Ever Writes A Ninth Throne Of Glass Book

Sarah J. Maas’ best-selling Throne of Glass collection is full, however in a resurfaced 2022 interview (shared on TikTok by creator @dvnnisimone), the writer discusses the potential for revisiting the world in a future novel. This got here as an enormous shock to many, as the ultimate e-book within the collection, Kingdom of Ash, was largely believed to be the final within the Throne of Glass collection. Nevertheless, Maas has made a number of feedback indicating that whereas the primary narrative has concluded, “there are different tales in that world that [she] needs to inform in some unspecified time in the future.”

Contemplating Sarah J. Maas has a number of upcoming books lined up, there is a excessive risk that one will reintroduce readers to the Throne of Glass world. And whereas she hasn’t essentially hinted as to what is going to come after the following Court docket of Thorns and Roses novel, her feedback in regards to the subsequent e-book within the lineup — stating “it’s a narrative that’s been brewing behind [her] thoughts for a very long time” — are much more promising to a Throne of Glass continuation.

Manon’s Reign As Queen Of The Crochan Witches

She Returns To The Western Wastes At The Finish Of Kingdom Of Ash

By the top of Kingdom of Ash, Manon turns into Queen of Witches over each the Crochan and the Ironteeth clans. As soon as the struggle with Erawan and Maeve is over, she returns to the Western Wastes along with her individuals to start her reign. Manon is one among Maas’ most advanced characters, remodeling from a chilly and ruthless follower into a powerful, highly effective, and empathetic queen by the top of the collection. Nevertheless, as Manon’s acceptance of her new position comes in the direction of the top of the ultimate e-book, readers by no means get to see her really start her reign.

The uniting of the Crochan and Ironteeth clans is a large deal, particularly after the 2 witch factions had been warring for hundreds of years. Manon was the one witch who may change into queen and reverse the curse that was positioned on the Witch Kingdom by the final Crochan Queen, and returning to the Western Wastes marks the beginning of a brand new period for the witches. If Maas does return to the Throne of Glass world in some unspecified time in the future, it will be nice to see how Manon’s Throne of Glass character has additional advanced as queen.

Seeing Yrene & Chaol As Dad and mom

Yrene Is Pregnant At The Finish Of The Sequence

Kingdom of Ash kicks off with the revelation that Yrene is pregnant, and through the closing novel, their future as dad and mom turns into a heavy burden as they fear over the upcoming battle with Maeve and Erawan. Nevertheless, the 2 are virtually extra inspired to combat within the hopes of making a greater world for his or her little one, they usually each find yourself being important in defeating Erawan—particularly Yrene’s therapeutic capability. Sadly, the occasions of the ultimate novel come to a conclusion earlier than she offers delivery, and readers by no means get to see the 2 characters change into dad and mom.

Since a lot of the narrative is targeted on the pending struggle with Erawan and Maeve, there’s little time for readers to get excited over the concept of their future little one. Not solely that, however readers are by no means made conscious of the intercourse of the kid or what they select to call their son or daughter. Whereas this element is small and comparatively unimportant to the plot, it is nonetheless one thing readers have lengthy questioned and would like to know in a future Throne of Glass novel.

Nox and Aelin’s Reunion

This Scene Is Notably Absent In Kingdom Of Ash

Aelin’s makes an attempt to reclaim her throne assist her to reunite with a number of characters within the latter collection, however one which was extremely anticipated all through Kingdom of Ash was with Nox—the younger thief who competed with Aelin within the King’s Champion Match within the very first e-book—is notably lacking. Nox returns to the story mid-way by Kingdom of Ash, and is first seen as a messenger in Terrasen’s military. Nevertheless, it is throughout this scene that Nox realizes that Aelin Galathynius, who was really Lysandra impersonating Aelin, was his previous good friend Celaena Sardothien in Throne of Glass.

Throughout this scene, he comes to grasp that Lysandra just isn’t the actual Aelin, explaining that she would have acknowledged him from the king’s competitors. After that, I used to be anticipating a heartfelt reunion between Nox and the actual Aelin, however sadly, that by no means got here to go. There’s quite a bit that occurs on the finish of the novel, nevertheless it looks as if Maas genuinely forgot so as to add this scene, and if she continues Throne of Glass ultimately in a while, she ought to provide readers with the reunion that’s lacking from Kingdom of Ash.

Elide and Lysandra’s Wedding ceremony

Kingdom Of Ash Options Aelin’s & Rowan’s However Not The Others

Kingdom of Ash wraps up everybody’s romantic relationships properly, with most characters discovering their completely happy ending and securing a vibrant future. And whereas the top of the novel options each Aelin and Rowan’s wedding ceremony, Maas would not have the time to additionally embrace Elide and Lysandra’s. As an alternative, the 2 weddings are alluded to and Aelin mentions they’re developing within the subsequent few weeks—with Elide and Lorcan marrying and transferring again to Perranth, and Lysandra and Aedion marrying as effectively.

It is unlucky there is not sufficient time to see these occasions play out on-page as effectively, as most of us have been equally invested of their romance arcs as they have been with Aelin and Rowan’s. It could be superb to revisit these characters in a future Throne of Glass e-book and witness their weddings—particularly when understanding Lorcan shall be taking Elide’s final identify and henceforth be generally known as Lorcan Lochan, which is totally hilarious and would make for a terrific scene. The 2 heroines’ love tales are equally essential, and their weddings ought to positively be featured in a future storyline.

A Maasverse Sequence Crossover

ACOTAR & Crescent Metropolis Have Already Carried out So

The third Crescent Metropolis novel, Home of Flame and Shadow, was the primary of Maas’ fantasy e-book collection to formally crossover into one other e-book’s world—bringing Bryce into ACOTAR‘s Prythian and seeing her work together with a number of characters. Whereas that is Maas’ first foray into bridging the Massverse collectively, it is positively not her final. Provided that the risk to Throne of Glass‘ world has been handled, it actually solely is smart to revisit the narrative and create battle if the Throne of Glass world collided with one other of Maas’ fantasy books—like Midguard or Prythian.

A e-book that merely detailed the lives of its characters after the struggle with Erawan and Maeve could be a bit too gradual to be participating, so Maas should bridge the hole between her fantasy e-book collection and introduce a brand new risk that will create sufficient battle to justify a ninth Throne of Glass novel. It could even be superb to see how Aelin, even along with her lessened magic state, would stand in comparison with different characters in ACOTAR or Crescent Metropolis, particularly when contemplating she’s one of the crucial highly effective of Maas’ e-book heroines.

A Monument Constructed For The 13

This Is Promised At The Finish Of Kingdom Of Ash

The 13’s deaths in Kingdom of Ash are essentially the most devastating moments in all the novel. After telling Manon to “reside“, her most trusted mates and fiercest allies take to the skies to make the Yielding—a magical assault that when used will destroy their enemies but additionally take the lifetime of the witch who performs it. In chapter 89 of Kingdom of Ash, Manon is left to observe as each single member of The 13 sacrifices their life to destroy the witch tower that threatens to destroy Terrasen.

“There shall be a monument,” she mentioned to Abraxos, to Manon. “Must you want it, I’ll construct a monument proper there. So nobody shall ever neglect what was given. Who we have now to thank.”

—Aelin Galathynius, Kingdom of Ash

Later, after the battle is gained, Aelin seeks out Manon to supply no matter consolation she will be able to present. It is throughout this quick scene that Aelin guarantees to construct a monument to honor The 13, and always remember their sacrifice and all these they saved with their heroic closing act. Maas broke many readers’ hearts with The 13’s deaths, and it will be comforting to know that Aelin did as she promised and constructed them a monument in a future Throne of Glass novel—and assist present readers with a way of closure.

Dorian & Manon’s Relationship

Their Romantic Arc Was Solely Simply Starting

If Maas was going to re-enter the world of Throne of Glass, it makes essentially the most sense to take action with Dorian and Manon, whose romantic arc was solely simply starting to take form on the finish of the collection. They’ve some flirtations within the early novels, however their relationship grows deeper all through Kingdom of Ash. It is unlucky the collection ended earlier than Maas may actually outline their relationship, and it is left open-ended on whether or not their romance will proceed outdoors the scope of the narrative—particularly now that the 2 characters are every rulers of their very own kingdoms.

This ingredient will make it even more durable for them to have a relationship to the extent the readers are hoping for, as each can have tasks that maintain them removed from each other and much too busy to maintain up a romance. There’s additionally the difficulty of Manon being immortal and Dorian being human, making certain that his lifespan shall be a lot shorter than Manon’s. Nevertheless, regardless of these roadblocks, there’s positively a narrative left to inform—and hopefully, Maas will revisit their romance arc if she ever writes one other Throne of Glass novel.

Discovering The place Vaughn Was All through The Total Sequence

He Is The fifth Member Of Maeve’s Authentic Cadre

Vaughn, a fae male who’s a member of Maeve’s cadre, is first launched to the collection in Inheritor of Fireplace and makes a short look when he joins Rowan and Aelin to combat the valg at Mistward. Nevertheless, after this introduction, he by no means once more re-enters the story and is barely referenced in passing all through the rest of the collection. At one level, it’s talked about that he is in search of Lorcan, however, surprisingly, he would not make an look on the closing battle in Kingdom of Ash though he is one of many solely members nonetheless loyal to Maeve.

This is without doubt one of the many questions we followers of Maas’ Throne of Glass collection have had about Kingdom of Ash‘s ending, and lots of assumed his character would make a grand look earlier than the novel concluded. Nevertheless, there have been a number of theories which have come about after he did not return to the story, with some believing he may have been on a mission for Maeve in one other realm—such because the ACOTAR or Crescent Metropolis worlds. His characters’ whereabouts depart a gap for Maas to re-enter the narrative and at last give his arc some substance.

2

Aelin’s Friendship With Dorian & Chaol

Their Goodbye In Kingdom Of Ash Was So Emotional

The collection opens and closes with Aelin, Dorian, and Chaol at one another’s sides—and their closing goodbye in Kingdom of Ash is extremely emotional. The trio has been by quite a bit collectively, and none of it will have even begun if Dorian hadn’t determined to decide on Celaena as his champion. Fortunately, all through the collection, Maas largely focuses on their friendships with each other and provides every character a compelling arc and a powerful quantity of development each individually and as a gaggle—however that does not imply readers are performed with them.

Their friendship ought to be robust sufficient to final regardless of the miles and months that separate them.

If Maas have been to proceed Throne of Glass, it will be upsetting if she did not showcase the trio’s ongoing friendship or see them work together in any approach. All of them imply a lot to at least one one other, and it is exhausting to think about the Throne of Glass world persevering with with out these different characters being concerned in each other’s lives. Sure, they’re separated now that Aelin guidelines over Terrasen and Dorian and Chaol are again in Adarlan, however their friendship ought to be robust sufficient to final regardless of the miles and months that separate them.

Discovering Out Whose Dragon’s Eggs Have been In The Ferion Hole

Many Assume These Belonged To Abraxos And Narene

All through Kingdom of Ash‘s story, there is a small point out of dragon eggs being discovered within the Ferion Hole—a mountain go that lies between the Ruhnn mountains and the White Fang mountains the place Erawan educated wyverns for struggle. Nevertheless, after mentioning this element, Maas by no means once more discusses their significance to the narrative, or what it may probably imply. And since they by no means got here again into play in Kingdom of Ash, many have dismissed the remark as unimportant.

Nevertheless, some have theorized that these dragon eggs may the truth is belong to Abraxos and Narene, who would have been within the neighborhood through the time earlier than Manon and The 13 broke off from Maeve’s military. Narene’s loss of life on the finish of the novel clearly had a serious affect on Abraxos, but when Maas was hinting that the eggs have been theirs, it will be a very candy technique to keep on her legacy and supply Abraxos with a household. Both approach, Maas ought to positively tackle the eggs in a future Throne of Glass novel and share their significance with readers.
