169 free ACOTAR trivia questions with answers — literature quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
41 free ACOTAR trivia questions with answers. This ACOTAR quiz is for readers who have crossed the wall into Prythian and never quite come back. Forty-one questions cover all five published books, from A Court of Thorns and Roses through A Court of Silver Flames: Feyre killing the wolf, Tamlin and the Spring Court, Amarantha and Under the Mountain, Rhysand's bargain and the Night Court, the war with Hybern, the Cauldron, the sisters, and Nesta and Cassian's story. It also covers the series itself: page counts and release dates, the fairy tales that inspired it, the Goodreads Choice wins, the sixth book's release date, the Hulu adaptation saga and the book-ban headlines. It starts with the questions any fan will get and works up to details for people who have reread the whole series more than once. Everything is kept spoiler-light on the deepest twists and clean enough to play at a book club. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia, Sarah J. Maas's official site, Kirkus and Publishers Weekly, and each question carries its source. No fan-wiki hearsay.
