Books like Game of Thrones: New Reads for 2015

16 Oct 2015

I know, I know, the new Game of Thrones book isn’t the long awaited sequel. Whether that book will be released within George R.R. Martin’s lifetime (or even our own) is anyone’s guess. The new book still has value though. Given the rich history of Westeros, reliving the old myths and often referenced past events is a treat. Still, it does little to advance the plot of the story you’re most interested in. Understandable.

Perhaps you’re ready to read something else, even a whole series in the mean time.  You liked the Game of Thrones books, you don’t want to forget them. But you do want to find yourself in the magic of another realm. So we’ve compiled a list of new books like Game of Thrones. If you pace yourself, these books and their series might last you until the last A Song of Ice and Fire books.
