If you finished Fourth Wing and immediately wanted another book with deadly competitions, dangerous dragons, complicated romance, and characters who aren't guaranteed to survive, you're definitely not alone.
The good news is that you don't have to leave that combination of fantasy and romance behind.
Here are seven books I'd recommend after Fourth Wing, depending on which part of the reading experience you enjoyed most.
1. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
If the romance and fantasy world-building were your favorite parts of Fourth Wing, start here.
Like Fourth Wing, the series combines a dangerous fantasy world with a strong romantic storyline. The books also become increasingly focused on political conflict, magical powers, and complicated relationships.
Best for: Readers who want more romance and a bigger fantasy world.
2. The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent
Want something darker?
This is a great choice if you enjoyed the deadly competition aspect of Fourth Wing. The protagonist has to survive a brutal tournament where losing can have very permanent consequences.
There's also romance, vampires, political intrigue, and plenty of tension.
Best for: Readers who want the competition and danger turned up.
3. From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
If you primarily read Fourth Wing for the romantic tension, this is another series worth checking out.
It mixes fantasy, romance, secrets, supernatural powers, and a protagonist caught in a much larger conflict than she initially realizes.
Best for: Readers who want fantasy romance with lots of twists.
4. The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang
This is the recommendation for someone who loved the military-school and warfare elements but wants something considerably darker.
It isn't a romantic fantasy in the same way as Fourth Wing. Instead, it explores war, power, colonialism, and the consequences of violence.
Best for: Readers who want the military side of Fourth Wing with much heavier themes.
5. Red Rising by Pierce Brown
If your favorite part was watching characters compete, form alliances, betray one another, and fight to survive, Red Rising is worth considering—even though it's science fiction rather than fantasy.
The story places its characters inside a brutal competitive system where social status and survival are constantly at stake.
Best for: Readers who loved the competition, strategy, and high stakes.
6. The Hurricane Wars by Thea Guanzon
For readers who want fantasy + enemies-to-lovers romance, this is an especially interesting option.
The story combines opposing sides of a war with a complicated relationship between characters who have every reason to distrust each other.
Best for: Readers looking for enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance.
7. Iron Flame
And, of course, if you somehow haven't read the sequel yet, there's an obvious answer: continue Violet's story.
If what you loved about Fourth Wing was the characters, dragons, romance, and ongoing mysteries, the sequel is the most direct way to get more of that world.
Best for: Readers who simply aren't ready to leave the world behind.
Which Fourth Wing read should you pick?
It really depends on what you loved most.
If you loved... Try...
Romance A Court of Thorns and Roses
Deadly competitions The Serpent and the Wings of Night
Fantasy romance From Blood and Ash
Military conflict The Poppy War
Competition & strategy Red Rising
Enemies-to-lovers The Hurricane Wars
More Violet and Xaden Iron Flame
Final recommendation
If I had to pick one book for someone who wants the closest overall reading experience to Fourth Wing, I'd start with The Serpent and the Wings of Night. It captures that particularly addictive combination of danger, competition, fantasy, and romance without simply feeling like a copy.
