Are you already missing Game of Thrones as much as I am? Have you, unlike me, already read all the Song of Ice and Fire books currently available, and now you're just looking for something to fill the big dragon shaped void in your week? If so, you've come to the right place. Here are three suggestions for novels to give you your fix of magical creatures and fighting for the throne, at least until George finishes those last few books.
Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake
Three Dark Crowns is the story of three triplet sisters, all equal heirs to the crown and all in possession of a different type of magic, but only one sister can be queen and the only way to win is to be the last one still alive. You can read Anjali's full review of this book here.
The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
The Priory of the Orange Tree is an epic fantasy tome, which tells the story of four narrators in a world of magic and courtly politics, where dragons may be revered or feared but are most definitely real, a queen must conceive a daughter to protect her realm, and a great threat looms over all.
Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
Rebel of the Sands is the story of a young woman raised in a desert town where real life is all too real and mythical beasts and magical beings roam at the outskirts of normality. When she finally manages to escape her back-country town, it isn't just freedom waiting for her, but a rebellion.
