Five published books, then two announced reading positions
Book 6 is A Court of Splintered Harmony (Valkyrie Cycle, Movement I). Book 7 is A Court of Forgotten Melody and contains Movements II and III — one book, not two.
Read the five published books in publication order: A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, A Court of Frost and Starlight, then A Court of Silver Flames. The announced sequence continues with A Court of Splintered Harmony and A Court of Forgotten Melody.
For a first read, Shelf of Worlds recommends keeping it between A Court of Wings and Ruin and A Court of Silver Flames. Bloomsbury says it closes Feyre’s story arc and sets the scene for Silver Flames, so we treat it as part of the primary sequence rather than an optional extra.
No. Bloomsbury says the series so far contains five published books. The Valkyrie Cycle continues with A Court of Splintered Harmony on October 27, 2026 and A Court of Forgotten Melody on January 12, 2027.
