If you were captivated by the intricate sin-eating magic and the cost it extracts from Taj in Beasts Made of Night, you'll be drawn to Children of Blood and Bone. Zélie's journey is driven by a magic system that's both empowering and perilous, with strict boundaries and heavy tolls that directly shape the fate of her people and herself.

If you appreciated the gritty and often brutal atmosphere of Kos, where Taj must confront monstrous sins and a society that preys on the vulnerable, you'll find The Gilded Ones equally compelling. Deka's trials in a harsh, oppressive society are laced with violence, danger, and difficult choices about survival and loyalty.

If you loved the lush, Nigerian-inspired setting and the rich cultural backdrop of Beasts Made of Night, Shadowshaper will immerse you in a Brooklyn alive with Caribbean folklore, magical murals, and ancestral spirits. Sierra's journey is shaped by her community's traditions and a world teeming with hidden magic.

If Taj's struggle with his own morality as a sin-eater—torn between survival, guilt, and defiance—resonated with you, An Unkindness of Ghosts offers a similarly layered protagonist. Aster must make ethically fraught decisions while resisting a brutal, hierarchical regime aboard a spaceship, blurring the lines between right and wrong.

If you enjoyed Taj’s coming-of-age arc—facing inner demons, grappling with responsibility, and growing into his own power—you'll love Akata Witch. Sunny’s quest to understand herself and her place in a magical Nigerian underworld is filled with self-discovery, growth, and the forging of her own destiny.
