If you loved following Nausicaä, Arlo, and the rest of the crew—each bringing their personalities and baggage to the table—you’ll be drawn to The Gilded Wolves. Séverin and his diverse group of friends and misfits must work together on daring heists in a lush, magical Paris, with shifting alliances and plenty of witty banter. The way every character gets their moment to shine will feel warmly familiar.

If you appreciated seeing queer characters and a mix of cultures in A Dark and Hollow Star, you’ll love Cemetery Boys. Yadriel, a trans Latinx brujo, is determined to prove his true identity to his family while navigating a magical world rich in tradition. The authentic representation and the found-family themes will resonate with you.

If you were immersed in the layered fae courts, ancient secrets, and complex magical rules of A Dark and Hollow Star, An Unkindness of Magicians will sweep you into an equally intricate world. The unseen magical elite of New York wield power in brutal, clandestine competitions, and the magic system is as nuanced and inventive as Shuttleworth’s fae lore.

If you were intrigued by characters like Nausicaä or Aurelian, who blur the lines between hero and anti-hero, The Wicked Deep will pull you in. The story centers on Penny, whose choices—torn between protecting her town and aiding a cursed boy—are as tangled as those made by Shuttleworth’s protagonists. The haunting atmosphere and ambiguous morality will keep you guessing.

If you were fascinated by fae politics and hidden supernatural societies in contemporary Toronto, you’ll find City of Bones just as enthralling. Clary Fray stumbles into a secret world of Shadowhunters, demons, and Downworlders in modern New York. The blend of magic, urban grit, and supernatural intrigue will feel right at home.
