From Prythian to Erilea, the world of Sarah J. Maas is full of fantastic creatures, mythical lands, steamy romance, and plenty of strong female characters. As a fantasy reader, it’s exciting to see fierce and complex leading ladies enter into this male-dominated genre. Our world might lack magical abilities or handsome bat boys, but the powerful females in the Maas universe tackle some pretty relatable topics — from love and friendship to mental health and self-discovery.
Perhaps you relate most to one of the Archeron sisters in A Court of Thorns and Roses, or maybe you see yourself in the Crescent City heroines or as one of the Throne of Glass queens. Take this quiz to learn which Sarah J. Maas character you embody most. Are you a high lady of a Fae court? Or a wyvern-riding witch?
If you’re a…
Feyre
Like the leading lady of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, you are brave, resilient, and resourceful. When life throws you lemons, your stubborn nature keeps you afloat. Though you’re determined not to let challenging times get the best of you, you occasionally wear your tender heart on your sleeve and gravitate toward being the caretaker amongst family or friends. Like Feyre Archeron, you put others’ needs before your own, so remember to indulge in self-care routines fit for a Fae high lady!
Aelin
Sharp-tongued and quick-witted are a couple of words that describe you! You radiate main character energy due to your wit and intelligence — much like Throne of Glass’ Aelin Ashryver Galathynius. Others are drawn to your bold and fearless personality, which is part of the reason you’re a faithful friend. Keep doing you, queen!
Bryce
Like Crescent City’s heroine Bryce Quinlan, you are strong-willed and spirited! You go after what you want no matter the cost and can be headstrong and competitive. Underneath a bold and fun personality, you occasionally feel misunderstood. The most special people in your life are those who allow you to be your truest self. Don’t be afraid to let your guard down and be vulnerable with those you can trust!
Nesta
Like Nesta Archeron of the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, you are deeply emotional. Though it can be difficult to let others in, you care immensely for loved ones and will do almost anything to ensure their happiness. You tend to be self-critical and hot-tempered when challenging times arise — so it’s important to go easy on yourself and lean on others for support. Those who know you best see a selfless and soft heart.
Manon
You’ve got the spirit of a warrior! Though you’re far from warm and fuzzy, there’s a heart of gold beneath that fierce exterior. Much like Manon Blackbeak, the witch from Maas’ Throne of Glass series, you are a true-born leader who has many layers. You’re extremely loyal to those in your close inner circle and those who know you trust you with their whole heart.
Lidia
You prefer your own company to the company of others — much like Lidia Cervos from the Crescent City series. Solitude allows you to feel most yourself, whereas in other parts of life (friend groups, family, or your career for example) you may feel pulled in two different directions. Though these circumstances may put you at war with yourself, continue your journey toward embracing your truest self!
