The sense of history, hidden rules, and magical intrigue will sweep you away.

If you appreciated the gradual unfolding of Diana and Matthew’s relationship and the slow revelation of hidden magical worlds, The Bear and the Nightingale offers a similar, mesmerizing pace.

If Diana Bishop’s intelligence, strength, and determination drew you in, you’ll be hooked by Elisabeth Scrivener in Sorcery of Thorns.

Watching her grow—and seeing her relationship with the enigmatic Nathaniel—will remind you of everything you loved about Diana.

If the scholarly approach to magic and the sense of magical laws in A Discovery of Witches fascinated you, The Bone Season will captivate you. Shannon’s world is built on a tightly structured system of clairvoyance, complete with hierarchies, terminology, and societal rules, echoing the academic depth and complexity that made Harkness’s world so compelling.

If you were swept up by the forbidden romance and supernatural intrigue between Diana and Matthew, The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue will resonate with you. V.E.
