The books
-
Fourth Wing
Violet is fragile and was supposed to be a scribe. Instead she's at a war college where cadets push each other off parapets and the dragons pick who lives. Fast, bingeable and meaner than the cover suggests.

A Game of Thrones
The Starks go south to serve a king who is drinking himself to death, and the Lannisters smile at them the whole time. Even if you've seen the show, the book is worth it for the chapters inside Ned's and Tyrion's heads. And yes, still waiting on book six.

Fireborne

Seraphina
In Goredd, dragons can fold themselves into human shape, and the treaty keeping the peace is barely holding. Seraphina is a court musician hiding exactly what she is. The romance with Prince Lucian is slow and sweet, and the prose is gorgeous if you don't mind a gentle pace.
