The American Library Association (ALA) shared the list of the most challenged books from 2025, and Empire of Storms, the fifth book in the Throne of Glass series, made it to the No. 4 spot. There were 24 challenges in total, and the majority of them were from schools.
Yet, Empire of Storms was quickly banned in many schools around the country, and to be honest, it makes sense. There is a lot of sexually explicit content in this fifth book, and that’s what led to the schools deciding it wasn’t appropriate for students.
The Throne of Glass series was something Maas had been working on since she was 16, and while she did state that the first draft “sucked,” in a 2019 interview, she also shared, “It was a story that I loved and I couldn’t get these characters out of my mind.”
While speaking with Goodreads, Maas also looked back at her characters and any of the lessons that she has taken from them. It is Aelin that she’s looked at most frequently, sharing, “I don't know about learning from their mistakes, but I have definitely used Aelin's ‘I will not be afraid’ line a few times—and actually felt better/calmed by it!”
In the end, the decision to ban and challenge her books hasn’t changed anything that Maas has chosen to write. There are two more ACOTAR books to come, making it clear that she will continue to create content that makes her (and her readers) happy.
