Trivia
- The books are set in the same megaverse as the Throne of Glass series. Sarah J. Maas states you could open a wyrdgate between both worlds. [3] [4]
- "[H]onestly, I imagine the ACOTAR & TOG worlds existing in the same megaverse. Maybe I'll write my own fanfic, where Celaena opens a portal and falls into Feyre's world. (...and thus reach an all-time low of author lameness.)"
