If you were captivated by the sweeping scale, shifting alliances, and the fate of kingdoms in The Winter King, you'll be drawn into the labyrinthine world of A Game of Thrones. The novel weaves together the ambitions of houses like Stark and Lannister, epic battles, and a rich, detailed history that makes the Seven Kingdoms feel as immersive and consequential as Cornwell's Britain.
If you loved how The Winter King reimagines Arthurian myth with fresh humanity and historical grit, The Song of Achilles will enchant you with its lyrical, emotionally charged retelling of the Iliad through the eyes of Patroclus. Miller's novel gives new dimension and intimacy to ancient legend, much like Cornwell's take on Merlin and Arthur.
If the flawed, cunning heroes and ambiguous motivations of Derfel and Arthur in The Winter King intrigued you, you'll relish Locke Lamora and his band of thieves. Lynch's Camorr is a city of shifting loyalties, double-crosses, and survival by wit, where heroes and villains often blur together.
If you were fascinated by the court politics, betrayals, and the constant power shifts in The Winter King, you'll be riveted by Maia's struggle to survive and thrive among scheming courtiers in The Goblin Emperor. The novel is a masterclass in tension and subtlety, where every conversation can alter the fate of an empire.
If you were enthralled by the way The Winter King brings post-Roman Britain to vivid life, with its cultures, religions, and landscapes, The Name of the Wind will similarly transport you into a world brimming with ancient lore, unique magic, and living history. Rothfuss crafts each location and legend with a depth and care reminiscent of Cornwell's approach.
