** Fairytale retellings, or stories inspired by fairytales and folktales. ''Throne of Glass'' started out as a darker, more action-packed "Cinderella" retelling (though it had drifted further from this by the final draft), while ''A Court of Thorns and Roses'' draws inspiration from "Beauty and the Beast", "Tam Lin", "East of the Sun and West of the Moon", "Snow White" and the Greek myths of Eros and Psyche and Hades and Persephone.

Bastard Boyfriend is no longer a trope


* FeministFantasy: A lot of her books have been considered this: all her series star powerful and strong-minded women as the protagonists, with lots of female supporting characters too. Some of her books also have themes around women overcoming or standing up to sexism, escape and recovery from domestic abuse and/or sexual violence, and finding romantic partners who empower them and treat them as equals. That being said, there has been some controversy over whether ''all'' of Maas' books can be considered good examples of Feminist Fantasy (especially with the ''A Court of Thorns and Roses'' series) due to the inclusion of certain plot developments and tropes (namely the use of the BastardBoyfriend trope and extremely vitriolic examples of BelligerentSexualTension and/or SlapSlapKiss, among other issues).

* AttentionDeficitCreatorDisorder: Midway through writing ''Throne of Glass'', Maas began co-writing ''The Starkillers Cycle'' (which was abandoned by 2017) and started work on ''A Court of Thorns and Roses''. And then immediately after finishing ''Throne of Glass'' in 2018, she began writing the ''Crescent City'' series alongside ACOTAR. The same year the last TOG book came out she also published ''Catwoman Soulstealer''; in 2018 she in fact released ''three'' books, and ''Kingdom of Ashes'' wasn't a short book either.
