Books Like Fourth Wing

Why it's a match

A Court of Thorns and Roses is like Fourth Wing because both send a headstrong young woman into a magical world she never wanted, only to fall for the most dangerous man in it. Sarah J. Maas pioneered the slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers fae romance that Rebecca Yarros adapted for dragon riders, and the emotional blueprint is nearly identical. Readers who loved Violet and Xaden's forbidden bond in Fourth Wing will find the same electricity in Feyre and Rhysand's story.

If the heat level in Fourth Wing is what hooked you, From Blood and Ash delivers that and then some.
