A Court of Splintered Harmony Becomes UK's Fastest-Selling Adult Fantasy Novel

The Guardian reported that A Court of Splintered Harmony, the sixth novel in Sarah J Maas's A Court of Thorns and Roses series, has become the fastest-selling adult fantasy novel in the United Kingdom since accurate records began in 1998. The Guardian's report, written by Emma Loffhagen, said the book has smashed UK sales records.

According to the same report, the novel also recorded the biggest single week of sales since Harper Lee's Go Set a Watchman was published in 2015. The Guardian described the book as Maas's long-awaited return to her bestselling romantasy series.

The Guardian's account identifies the novel as the most recent installment in that series and names Maas as its author. The record it describes is measured against the period since accurate records began in 1998, which the report presents as the starting point for the comparison.

The summary available for this story does not state the sales figures behind the records, the length of the period in which the single week was measured, or any comment from the author, her publisher, or booksellers. Those details are therefore not reported here, and the account does not indicate any dispute over the figures.

The Guardian's report continues beyond the points summarized here, and readers seeking its full treatment may consult the original article. This account rests on The Guardian's report alone, and its claims are limited to what that outlet has stated.
