The Next Best Thing

Author Sarah J. Maas has blown us all away with yet another compelling series. Throne of Glass was amazing, but A Court of Thorns and Roses is something else.

Here is why this book is absolutely Hollywood material.

1. Stand-alone and ongoing.

Although part of an ongoing trilogy, the book ends on an almost happy note; with Feyre breaking the curse, becoming High Fae, and making a name for herself. A movie made out of it is probably going to be a masterpiece, even if directors decide to not continue making films out of the rest of the trilogy. This book has the finesse of a stand-alone novel, and is being continued in two other books — one of which, A Court of Mist and Fury, has already been released. Even if all of the trilogy doesn't get to see the limelight Hollywood provides, a single movie alone won't appear absurd at all.


2. To-Die-For Baddies.

We thought only Harry Potter had to offer engrossing villains and accomplices. Wait till this book becomes a movie. Creatures like the Naga; which are literally snake-men, the Attor; a flying bat-like human-monster, the Suriel; which gazes into your future for you if trap it — and many, many more — await you.


3. The Physical Intrigue.

This is what some people root for. Though a tad bit intense, and probably inappropriate, the physical intrigue this book has to offer is obviously how a book makes it to the big screen in the first place.


4. The Plot Twists.

A Court of Thorns and Roses is an action-packed read. When such a book with spine-tingling plot twists is turned into a movie, people would want to name their children after the characters!


5. The Magic and Everything.

Experts at Hollywood can easily turn the scenes of the movie, involving magic and levitation and burst of energy and light, into believable and watchable.

Whether the author has had any agreements with any directors or companies, is still not known. But rest assured, A Court of Thorns and Roses will soon have a movie made out of it.
