I made the mistake of starting my fantasy journey with A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin a year ago—now I’m completely obsessed! I started a few series, but I cannot find the will to continue. I always find myself rereading the books lol.
But now I think I’m ready to hyper fixate on something new again!
If it helps, here’s what I loved about ASOIAF:
- The complex and layered characters.
- The immersive worldbuilding.
- Multiple POVs
- Dragons
- The Targaryens (EDIT: Now that I think about it, are there any families or species in fiction that rival the Targaryens in terms of lore?)

Well there’s always fire and blood, if you haven’t read that yet lol. Martin has said he plans a second book but that’s after TWOW apparently so yeah… but, it was a great book
Obligatory Malazan suggestion
The Dragonriders of Pern
The Temeraire series by Naomi Novik has complex characters, immersive world building, and dragons. Not so much the multiple points of view, we’re usually following either William Lawrence or Temeraire himself as they go through the Napoleonic wars.
