In A Feast for Crows, did you enjoy ...
... relentless, ledger-and-courtroom power plays and the chess of empire-building?
The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson
If Cersei’s paranoid small-council gambits, the Faith Militant reinstatement, and Dorne’s secret plots hooked you, you’ll love how The Traitor Baru Cormorant turns audits, treaties, and coin into weapons. Like the Dornish maneuvers around Myrcella and the Ironborn kingsmoot’s backroom deals, Baru infiltrates an occupying empire through finance and policy, engineering coups with signatures instead of swords—until the moral cost rivals anything in King’s Landing.
... patient, court-centered politics that reward attention to etiquette, titles, and quiet alliances?
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
If the slow, simmering tensions of Brienne’s meandering quest, Sansa-as-Alayne’s careful positioning in the Vale, and Jaime’s diplomatic riverlands tour appealed to you, The Goblin Emperor delivers that same unhurried, courtly unraveling. Like Littlefinger’s soft-spoken traps, Maia’s power comes from protocol, invitations, and small favors—each audience and ceremony shifting the palace balance one measured step at a time.
... a lattice of intercut viewpoints converging on continental crises?
The Dragon's Path by Daniel Abraham
If you enjoyed how A Feast for Crows braids Arya in Braavos, Cersei in King’s Landing, the Ironborn kingsmoot, and Arianne’s Myrcella plot into a wider storm, The Dragon’s Path will feel like home. Its rotating perspectives—merchants, soldiers, and schemers—collide through wars of coin and conscience much as the Vale, Dorne, and the riverlands collide through rumor, letters, and sieges.
... formidable women reshaping dynasties, faith, and war?
The Priory Of The Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
If Brienne’s dogged honor, Asha’s ironborn defiance, Arianne’s audacious bid for Myrcella, and Cersei’s iron-fisted rule grabbed you, The Priory of the Orange Tree offers a panorama of equally commanding women. Queens, mages, and dragonriders negotiate treaties, challenge priesthoods, and decide the fate of nations—echoing the way Dorne, the Reach, and the Crown vie for power through their daughters and queens.
... protagonists making brutal choices as ideals curdle into necessity?
The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang
If Arya’s steps with the Faceless Men, Cersei’s vindictive justice, and the Sand Snakes’ vengeance made you relish moral gray zones, The Poppy War dives headlong into them. Like the Quiet Isle’s warning that oaths and blood both stain, Rin’s path forces choices where victory demands atrocities—mirroring the way power in Westeros corrodes even those who think they’re acting for family or realm.
