In The Queen’s Rising, did you enjoy ...

... a richly detailed world of political and academic intrigue?

Seraphina by Rachel Hartman

If you loved the immersive setting and complex institutions in The Queen’s Rising—from the grand halls of Magnalia House to the shadowy corridors of court—Seraphina will sweep you away with its lushly realized kingdom of Goredd, its intricate musical academies, and the tense interplay between humans and dragons. Seraphina herself is entangled in royal secrets and conspiracies, much like Brienna, and the worldbuilding is just as vivid and layered.

... a heroine’s powerful journey of self-discovery and change?

Graceling by Kristin Cashore

If you connected with Brienna’s struggle to find her place and purpose, you’ll be drawn to Katsa’s transformation in Graceling. Both heroines grapple with their identities and abilities, growing from uncertainty into self-assurance amidst courtly intrigue and personal challenges. Watching Katsa evolve is just as rewarding as Brienna’s path to confidence and belonging.

... a blossoming romantic subplot woven into a lush fantasy world?

An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson

If Brienna and Cartier’s slow-burning romance tugged at your heart, you’ll adore the chemistry between Isobel and Rook in An Enchantment of Ravens. Their emotional journey is set against a backdrop of fae courts and artistic magic, with a love story that’s both swoonworthy and deeply entwined with the main plot.

... entwined political schemes and dangerous secrets?

The Traitor’s Kiss by Erin Beaty

If you enjoyed the web of secrets, shifting alliances, and courtly maneuvering in The Queen’s Rising, The Traitor’s Kiss will draw you in with its clever heroine Sage, who becomes embroiled in espionage and deception within a kingdom teetering on the edge of war. The stakes are high, the loyalties uncertain, and every move could change the fate of nations.

... a sweeping, high fantasy adventure with rich magical lore?

Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson

If you were captivated by the magic-infused world of Valenia and the sense of epic adventure in The Queen’s Rising, you’ll be enchanted by Sorcery of Thorns, where libraries brim with living grimoires and danger lurks behind every spell. Elisabeth’s journey is filled with peril, discovery, and a grand sense of wonder reminiscent of Brienna’s own quest.
