A Court of Frost and Starlight posted a 37.5% year-over-year increase in library checkouts in October 2026, the largest rise among the original A Court of Thorns and Roses books, according to Libby data reported by screenrant.com. The figures compare checkouts with October 2025.
Every title in Sarah J. Maas's original five-book run recorded an increase over the same month last year. A Court of Silver Flames rose 26.4%, A Court of Wings and Ruin 23.9%, A Court of Mist and Fury 19% and A Court of Thorns and Roses 17.1%.
The numbers measure the size of the increase in checkouts rather than the total number of checkouts for each title, so they do not indicate which book was borrowed most overall.
