Why it's a match

Fourth Wing is like A Court of Silver Flames because both pit two equally stubborn, hot-tempered people against each other in an enemies-to-lovers romance that burns slow and then explodes with explicit heat.

If A Court of Silver Flames is your gold standard for explicit romantasy, Fourth Wing is the most natural next read.
