In A Dance with Dragons, did you enjoy ...
... the shifting alliances and betrayals among powerful factions?
The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch
The Lies of Locke Lamora thrusts you into the treacherous underbelly of Camorr, where Locke and his Gentlemen Bastards pull off elaborate heists while constantly navigating the deadly games of the city's nobility and criminal underworld. If you found yourself enthralled by the dense web of political maneuvering and surprise betrayals that kept Tyrion and Daenerys on edge in A Dance with Dragons, you'll relish the cunning plots and double-crosses that define Lynch's world.
... an expansive world with intricate cultures, histories, and mythologies?
The Priory Of The Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
If you loved exploring the richly detailed continents and cultures of Westeros and Essos—the Free Cities, the Iron Islands, and beyond—in A Dance with Dragons, The Priory of the Orange Tree will sweep you into a sweeping new realm. Shannon crafts a world teeming with rival kingdoms, ancient secrets, and dragon lore, immersing you in a tapestry of history and legend that will satisfy your craving for deep worldbuilding.
... a sprawling conflict told through multiple characters’ viewpoints?
Malice by John Gwynne
Much like the shifting perspectives of Jon Snow, Tyrion Lannister, and Daenerys Targaryen, Malice weaves together the fates of a diverse cast as kingdoms clash and ancient prophecies stir. If you enjoyed unraveling the story through the eyes of different players across a war-torn land in A Dance with Dragons, this epic fantasy offers that same immersive, multi-voiced narrative.
... complex characters who wrestle with their own questionable choices and morality?
The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie
If you were captivated by the moral grayness of characters like Theon Greyjoy or Melisandre in A Dance with Dragons, you'll quickly be drawn into The Blade Itself. Abercrombie populates his world with anti-heroes and flawed protagonists—like the infamous Inquisitor Glokta and barbarian Logen Ninefingers—whose personal ambitions and ethics are always shifting in a brutal, unpredictable world.
... grand battles, shifting alliances, and a world-changing struggle?
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson
The Way of Kings delivers the same sweeping, epic scope that made A Dance with Dragons so memorable. From the shattered plains to the halls of power, you'll follow warriors, scholars, and rulers as their destinies intertwine in a conflict that will reshape the world. If you loved the sense of vastness and the high stakes of Martin's saga, Sanderson's grand vision will keep you enthralled.
