Read-alikes
Glass Sword is rebellion, chosen one & morally grey — sweet (1/5), first-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.
Picking up immediately after the events of Red Queen, Mare Barrow escapes Maven's betrayal and joins the Scarlet Guard in a race to find and recruit other newbloods — Reds born with impossible Silver powers — before the vindictive new king can hunt them down and destroy them. As she hardens into a weapon of the rebellion, Mare is forced to confront an unsettling truth: her single-minded pursuit of victory is transforming her into exactly the kind of ruthless leader she once despised.
