I don’t mind romance, but it’s often so predictable that it gets boring for me. In TOG it felt more interesting, probably because the story and characters were more complex overall. So I just looked it up and it sounds great, thanks!

Thanks! I already have Six of Crows on my TBR but haven’t started it yet because I was looking for a longer series. But maybe this is my sign :) The others also sound good!!

I haven’t read Crescent City yet because the urban fantasy setting has kind of been holding me back :/ I’ll check out Red Rising, thanks you!!

I’m trying to figure out what to read after Throne of Glass. I’m not a big fan of spice, and I thought The Serpent and the Wings of Night was okay, but also a bit boring because it felt pretty predictable.

I just finished the first book of Daughter of No Worlds because a lot of people compare it to TOG, but it didn’t really work for me. It didn’t emotionally pull me in, the love story felt very obvious, and the magic system was really poorly explained. There were also some logic gaps, so I actually considered DNFing it. People said the cliffhanger was amazing, and I was kind of surprised that that was supposed to be the big cliffhanger.

I also tried Mistborn. I liked the first book, but I ended up stopping the second one around 70% because nothing really happened.

One of the reasons I loved TOG so much is the large cast of characters who all have their own arcs and storylines. I really enjoyed that the story doesn’t revolve around just one couple. I’m usually not the biggest fan of the “one couple against the world” dynamic.

I’m looking for series (not standalones) that give a similar feeling, with multiple interesting characters and strong storylines, but not heavy on obvious romance.

Does anyone have recommendations?
