History Trivia / ACourtOfThornsAndRoses

** Shortly after the first book's publication in 2015, the rights to a movie adaptation were optioned and as of 2018 a script had been written. However, there's been [[DevelopmentHell no other news since]] and in 2021 it was announced that the series was instead getting a TV adaptation for Hulu, so it seems likely the movie plans fell through.

* IKnewIt: Many readers predicted that Rhysand's strange reaction to Feyre at the end of the first book was him realizing [[spoiler:they were mates and that she'd likely end up with him over Tamlin]]. This turned out to be precisely true in the second book.

* TheWikiRule: Has one over at the [[https://acourtofthornsandroses.fandom.com/wiki/A_Court_of_Thorns_and_Roses_Wiki A Court of Thorns and Roses Wiki]].

* WorkingTitle: Maas used ''A Court of Wind and Stone'' as the working title for the second book, later changing it to ''A Court of Mist and Stone'', before settling on the final title.

* ExecutiveMeddling: In regards to the marketing. Sarah J. Maas stated in a 2019 panel that she never really intended for the books to be labelled [[YoungAdultLiterature Young Adult]], especially because of the sexual content, but that at the time the series began publication the New Adult label hadn't really caught on and so the books were published as YA. Maas said she agreed to this on the condition none of the sex scenes would be censored. From ''A Court of Silver Flames'' onwards, the books are no longer marketed as YA (although they do still pop up in the teen section from time to time).

* RecycledScript: Rhysand's story arc is very similar to Aedion's from Sarah J. Maas' previous series, ''Literature/ThroneOfGlass''. Aedion is a WarriorPrince who is widely hated and known as "Ardalan's whore" for supposedly betraying Terrasen and working with their oppressors [[spoiler:only for it to be revealed he's secretly spying on Ardalan for the rebels]]. Rhysand is a powerful High Lord  who is widely despised and considered a traitor by the inhabitants of Prythian for being the lover and right-hand-man of the tyrannical Queen Amarantha, and is known as "Amarantha's whore" [[spoiler:only for it to turn out he despises Amarantha and is more of a SexSlave than her willing lover, only going along with it to protect his people from her wrath]]. Both are also fae with mixed ancestry; Aedion is a Demi-Fae (human and fae parentage) and Rhysand is part-Illyrian, part-High Fae.

* FanNickname:
** Following ''A Court of Mist and Fury'', many fans dubbed Tamlin "Tamlin the Tool".
** Rhysand, Cassian and Azriel are collectively referred to as the "Bat Boys", on account of them all being [[WingedHumanoid Illryian or part Illyrian]].
