The Chronicles of Ixia Series by Maria V. Snyder has delighted YA fantasy and romantasy fans for years. If you love a survival story, a fierce female lead, a sizzling romance and LOTS of magic, we couldn't recommend this series more.
The books follow Yelena, who is forced to be a poison taster at the palace after committing murder. We join her on her fight for survival as she discovers she has magical powers, is forced to flee the palace, searches for her long-lost family and falls in love. Yelena will have to hone her powers as a Soulfinder, and set on a path that will test the limits of her skills to stop a war between kingdoms.
This is the perfect series to read if you love all the epic adventure and magic of Throne of Glass. And if you are looking for more magical, fantastical and romantic books to read next, check out our blog post on the Best Romantasy Series for 13 and 14 year olds.
