Books Like Fire

Fire is fierce heroine, slow burn & morally grey — mild (2/5), third-person, ending on a hard-won happy ending. These 12 romantasy read-alikes are ranked by how much they share with it, closest first — each one explained.

Fire is the last human monster in the Dells — breathtakingly beautiful, with flame-coloured hair, and able to read and control minds. When the young kingdom teeters on the edge of civil war, Prince Brigan is sent to bring her to the capital, where her power may be the only way to uncover the plots threatening the throne. The novel is as much a reckoning with Fire's fear of becoming her monstrous father as it is a political fantasy about what it means to wield dangerous power responsibly.
