Editorial Breakdown & Verdict
The A Court of Thorns and Roses trilogy by Sarah J. Maas has built a dedicated fanbase, and the hardcover box set is a coveted collector’s item. On Amazon, the MSRP is $154, but the current deal price of $117.50 represents a 50% discount—saving you $36.50 on a package that typically retails for the full price. This is a genuine bargain for anyone who wants the complete trilogy in a single, premium set.
However, the promotion is a bit more complex than a simple 50% off. You must purchase two full sets to receive the third at half price, so the effective discount per copy averages around 33% unless you already own one or two copies. Additionally, the deal is limited to the hardcover edition; any paperback or e‑book versions are excluded. For collectors or new readers looking for a single copy, the savings are less dramatic.
Overall, the deal is solid for those who plan to buy multiple copies—whether for gifting, a library, or a personal collection—because the combined savings exceed $50. For a single purchase, the discount is still worthwhile but not as striking as the headline suggests.
