please help me find a good book

I read Throne of Glass 3 years ago. It was my first fantasy book, AND my first series.

Since then, I have been searching far and wide for a book / series to give me that same feeling.

That feeling of being absolutely engulfed by a world and the plot. A plot that started so small and grew so enormous. The intensity and the emotions of all calibres.

Nothing has ever touched my heart the same way.

And I understand that Throne of Glass is by no means the best book out there. It just is for me right now, because I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING ELSE THAT MAKES ME FEEL THIS WAY.

Please help me find this feeling again. (I’ve read both acotar and crescent city and neither of them are anywhere near as good)

I neeeeeed a gripping plot. I need the plot to be the main focus of the book, but I still need some good romance on the side to spice it up.

Please drop anything you think will get me over this 3 year long ToG hangover 😭👏
