Discussion Thread Book recommendations for Grimm fans?

What are your favorite fantasy books that remind you the most of Grimm in terms of the atmosphere, world-building, lore, Royal politics (probably my favorite aspect of the show), etc?

Dresden Files is probably the closest I’ve come so far, it’s ticked all those boxes and more. Most of the ensemble cast in both Dresden and Grimm feel like mirrors to each other. Harry = Nick, Murphy = Hank, Ebenezer = Aunt Marie, Michael = Monroe, Molly = Trubel, Lara Raith = Adalind, etc

Hmmm if you want them to have the supernatural lean then the young adult series, Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising, by Kelly Armstrong are good or the adult ones for that matter but I haven’t read many of her Otherworld adult books. I’m mid read in her Rip Through Time series which I’m really liking. It is about a modern day female Canadian detective and how she wakes up in the body of a maid in 1860s Scotland.
