Books Like ToG

Assassin queens, dark magic, and epic high fantasy

Throne of Glass follows Celaena Sardothien, one of fantasy's most iconic heroines — an assassin navigating political intrigue, ancient magic, and impossible choices. These books share ToG's blend of fierce female protagonists, sprawling world-building, and high-stakes adventure.

  1. 1

    An Ember in the Ashes

    by Sabaa Tahir

    Roman-inspired empire, a fierce slave-girl navigating a brutal military world, and a slow-burn romance. Celaena fans consistently name Laia of Serra as her spiritual sister.

    Red Queen

    by Victoria Aveyard

    A girl with hidden powers in a world that would destroy her if they knew. Sharp political twists, a strong heroine, and the same addictive pacing as ToG.

  3. 3

    The Cruel Prince

    by Holly Black

    Mortal girl fighting for power in a court that underestimates her — the same energy as Celaena's arc in the glass castle. Jude is every bit the match for Celaena's fire.

  4. 4

    A Court of Thorns and Roses

    by Sarah J. Maas

    The author's other masterwork — same sweeping world-building, fierce heroine, and enemies-to-lovers romance. If you loved ToG, ACOTAR is the essential next read.

    Shadow and Bone

    by Leigh Bardugo

    Russian folklore-inspired world, a girl who discovers world-changing power, and a court full of dangerous allies. The Grisha trilogy shares ToG's scale and ambition.

    The Poppy War

    by R.F. Kuang

    Buy
  7. 7

    The Name of the Wind

    by Patrick Rothfuss

    Epic scope, a legendary protagonist narrating their own myth, and prose that elevates the genre. Kvothe shares Celaena's talent, pride, and complicated relationship with power.

  8. 8

    Nevernight

    by Jay Kristoff

    A girl trained by assassins in a school built on secrets and death — unmistakably ToG-adjacent. Darkly funny, morally complex, and addictive.
