A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin currently has the rating of 4.44 on Goodreads. The following books are standalones or first books in a series, as it would be unfair to compare it to the last book in a series, for example the fantastic ending to The Faithful and the Fallen series, Wrath, by John Gwynne, which has a Goodreads rating of 4.51.
Unsurprisingly, Brandon Sanderson features three times on this list! I can’t say I agree with any of these titles being “better”, but the all-knowing Goodreads reviewers might just have some interesting recommendations for A Song of Ice and Fire fans.
Brandon Sandersons Stormlight Chronicles, the first book is on there as “The way of Kings” will really scratch that Game of Thrones itch if that it what you are looking for. Definitely leans more into the magic/fantasy aspects than GoT though.
