Hi! I need your help with book recommendations
I just finished The Cruel Prince by Holly Black, and now I’m trying to find something with a similar vibe.
What I’m looking for:
* a royal setting (kingdoms, courts, princes, kings, etc.)
* strong political intrigue — schemes, manipulation, power struggles
* a well-developed world (this is very important to me)
* a romantic subplot, but not something overly dominant — I prefer when it’s subtle, tense, or not fully obvious
* smart characters who actually play mind games with each other
Bonus (big plus!):
* charismatic characters with sarcasm / sharp dialogue
I also don’t mind long series at all — trilogies or longer series are totally welcome.
PS: I already know these will probably be recommended 😅 — I’ve read Throne of Glass, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and Red Queen.
Thank you very much in advance!
