Hey Sarah J. Maas fans! We have some super exciting information for you about Sarahâs upcoming books.
When Sarah sat down to write the Throne of Glass novella about Chaol this past fall, she wound up writing something a bit longer⊠So long, in fact, that the project-formerly-known-as-a-novella is now a full-length novel! Sarah will be sharing more about her inspiration for this story and how it went from a novella into another major installment in the TOG saga in an upcoming issue of her newsletter [subscribe here].
Look for a title reveal soon! Chaolâs book will publish on September 5, 2017 along with the US paperback edition of Empire of Storms.
Due to some ongoing health issues for Sarah these past months, the final book in the Throne of Glass series and The World of Throne of Glass will now both publish on May 1, 2018.
Retailer websites will be updated shortly with this information.
As previously announced, A Court of Wings and Ruin, The Court of Thorns and Roses Coloring Book, and the US paperback edition of A Court of Mist and Fury will publish on May 2, 2017. We recently revealed the global covers of ACOWAR here. Look for an announcement on our preorder promotion soon!
how can you support Veronica Roth's book? It's racist. Do you even know what racism is? You should revoke your support of her book.
Iâm going to answer your second question first. Do I know what racism is?
Being called Paki, Sand N*****, Camel Jockey, etc. and hearing my family being called that since I was a small child, having people vandalize my parentsâ motel; having them trash my brotherâs car; my father getting assaulted and arrested for being brown in white town; my teachers telling my mother I didnât belong in their classes when I was 5 years old because I didnât speak English even though I was 100% fluent; having a checkout clerk tell my mother I was stealing when I was a 3yo because I ate a grape at a grocery store; a teacher attempting to sabotage my education by forcing me to spend a year in remedial classes in junior high to put me behind despite having high test scores; being harassed, insulted and attacked by a group of teenagers as a 7 year old walking with my brother in the desert; getting ordered out of a store in my hometown for âlooking like a gangbangerâ, getting pulled over and hassled with my best friend for driving around my home town because she was white and I was not; having a group of guys surround me on a bus in college and mock me for my appearance;  being told over and over  GO BACK, GO BACK, GO BACK; Even now, dealing with micro-aggressions and getting regular messages and anon asks (b/c I choose to keep an open line of communication with fans) telling me that I donât deserve any of my success, that I am a âdiversity caseâ or that I am, somehow, inferior because I am brown.
Does that constitute as racism? If so, then yes, I know what racism is.
Now that thatâs out of the way: I have had many people asking my thoughts on Carve the Mark, the book in question, or telling me my thoughts are wrong, so hereâs what I have to say:
I read Carve the Mark critically and did not find the book to be racist or ableist (which was the other criticism leveled at it.) Â To be absolutely clearâI read the criticism thoroughly and found that I did not agree with what it was saying. I thought that there was plenty of evidence in the book that the exact opposite was true, and that the cultural groups represented were varied and nuanced and open to many different interpretations. (One example: I felt that the cultural group portrayed as more âviolentâ was comprised of many skin colors and reflected a hodgepodge of different societies, and that the main character was portrayed both critically and sympathetically. And I felt that the group portrayed as more âpeacefulâ also had an array of skin/hair types, and again, was portrayed as nuancedâboth good and bad.)
(Re: the issue of ableism, more informed folks than I (see Leigh Bardugo and Kody Keplinger) have spoken about the issue. I direct you to them because they are more knowledgable about issues of ableism than I am.)
What is happening here is a difference in opinion. It is a normal thing in a free and fair society. For some reason, this upsets a few people, as they apparently think that people of color are some sort of Borg Uni-mind who all think exactly the same way. Hereâs a tip: we donât. POC can disagree with one another, guys. And we can discuss, and we can learn from such disagreements.
This is a case in which I disagree with the criticism that another POC has for this book. Not because I like the author of the book. Not because I havenât read the book. But because I just donât agree with the criticism. This, by the way, does not mean I donât like or respect the people who have leveled the criticism. Quite the opposite. It. Is. A. DIfference. In. Opinion.
As the wise Somaiya Daud said, âthere is no One Readingâ, meaning that people can read the same book and have different takes on it.
Example: Â I read a book a couple years ago by a POC author that unintentionally denigrated my language and people. Other people read this book and did not see this at all. In fact, some of you might have read it and not noticed it or found it offensive. Â To me, thatâs ok. You read and interpreted it differently than I did. I can inform you of how I feel, and discuss it with you (I actually did with the author, and the author was receptive) but if you read it, and hear my opinion and ultimately donât agree with me, Iâm going to respect your right as a free citizen to have your own opinion. I do not expect you to trash the book or not read it because I was hurt by it. In fact, Iâd rather you read it, because then youâll have an informed opinion about it and speak about it intelligently.
And thatâs sort of what this comes down to: Â In dealing with other POC, not all POC opinions are immediately the ONLY opinion. We are not a monolith.
As a WOC who has dealt with racism, often violent, since I came to this country, and as a WOC who has spent much of her life being told to sit down and shut up, I find it very odd that some of the people who consider themselves allies are essentially telling me to sit down and shut up. (Not all of them. Iâve had many civil and intelligent conversations about this.) Essentially, they want me to revoke my opinion about the book.
So hereâs the thing: You can criticize me. You can say âSabaa, you are an idiot and I disagree with you.â Thatâs fine. You have that right and I absolutely support you being able to voice your opinion. But donât tell me to undo my opinion. Because by doing so, you are, in effect, attempting to silence me, and I am sick of people trying to silence me.
