In A Torch Against The Night, did you enjoy ...

... the high-stakes objective and relentless pursuit of survival and freedom?

The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski

If you were gripped by Laia and Elias’s urgent quest to evade the Empire and rescue Darin in A Torch Against the Night, you’ll be captivated by Kestrel’s dangerous bargains and calculated risks in The Winner’s Curse. The story hurtles forward with every decision carrying life-altering consequences, blending heart-pounding action with impossible choices.

... a complex, intertwined group of main characters with intersecting goals and loyalties?

Six Of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

If you loved how Laia, Elias, and Helene’s perspectives wove together, each with their own motives and struggles, you’ll be drawn into the vibrant, dangerous world of Six of Crows, where Kaz and his diverse crew must depend on—and sometimes betray—each other to survive an impossible heist.

... characters undergoing intense, often painful personal transformation?

The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang

If you were invested in Elias’s journey toward self-understanding and Laia’s transition from terrified girl to determined freedom fighter, The Poppy War offers the same raw, unflinching look at a protagonist’s evolution. Rin’s path from an outsider to a powerful, conflicted force is just as harrowing and transformative.

... characters forced to make difficult, morally grey choices in a brutal world?

An Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

If the ethical dilemmas and blurred lines between right and wrong in A Torch Against the Night fascinated you, revisiting the origin of Laia and Elias’s journey in An Ember in the Ashes will immerse you in even more moments where the heroes’ choices are as questionable as they are compelling.

... a richly imagined world with layered cultures, histories, and conflicts?

Truthwitch by Susan Dennard

If you were swept away by the intricately detailed Empire—the Martial customs, Scholar resistance, and mythic undertones—Truthwitch offers a world just as vivid and multifaceted, with magical politics, ancient secrets, and cultures that feel fully alive on the page.
