A dragon rider war college. An enemies-to-lovers romance so charged it's hard to breathe. Stakes that end the world.
The most direct heir to ACOTAR energy in contemporary fantasy — same morally grey love interest, same escalating danger, same completely unhinged romantic tension. Read this next.
A maiden chosen by the gods. A guard who is not what he seems. A conspiracy that reshapes everything.
ACOTAR readers reliably devour this series next — similar heat, similar world-building reveals, similar emotional devastation. Armentrout is the other queen of romantasy.
A teenage assassin is given a chance at freedom — if she can win a deadly competition and serve a murderous king.
If you haven't already: Maas's other series. Celaena Sardothien is a different beast from Feyre but the world-building expands in the same breathtaking way.
A mortal girl determined to win power in a fae court full of beautiful, cruel creatures who despise her for being human.
The fae court politics of ACOTAR with a sharper edge — Holly Black invented a lot of the tropes Maas uses so expertly. Jude is a different kind of heroine.
A prequel set in the same world as From Blood and Ash — the origin of the gods, told through a woman born to be sacrificed.
For ACOTAR fans who want more lore-heavy romantasy with the same heat and mythological depth.
Two people on opposite sides of a brutal empire — forced together, forced apart, forced to choose.
For readers who loved the political complexity and dark romance of ACOMAF. Less heat, more emotional devastation.
A young soldier discovers a power that could save her world — and attract the attention of the most dangerous man alive.
The Grishaverse is the other great YA-to-adult fantasy crossover. Less heat than ACOTAR, more ensemble magic.
