Bloomsbury is releasing Night Court editions of the Court of Thorns and Roses books, but these special editions are proving divisive among fans of Sarah J. Maas' fantasy series. The first Acotar book is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025, so it's no surprise that the series is getting a set of special editions to celebrate. However, there's been notable backlash to Acotar's Night Court editions, with several complaints cropping up repeatedly across social media.

While the all-black design of these limited edition releases feels properly reminiscent of the Night Court, not all readers are thrilled with this approach. Bloomsbury's Instagram announcement received numerous comments criticizing these Court of Thorns and Roses editions, with some stating they'd prefer the sixth Acotar book instead. Those outside of the discourse might be wondering why the Night Court editions are proving so controversial, and there are a few reasons for this response.
