In Borderline, did you enjoy ...

... complex, neurodiverse protagonists navigating a hidden magical world?

Every Heart a Doorway by Seanan McGuire

If you loved Millie’s sharp, flawed voice and her journey dealing with mental health challenges while unraveling faerie intrigues, you’ll be drawn into Every Heart a Doorway. Here, Nancy and other misfit teens cope with trauma and identity after returning from magical worlds, blending emotional honesty with a fantastical setting.

... witty, sardonic narration and clever humor in urban fantasy?

The Rook by Daniel O’Malley

If Millie’s dry humor and snappy comebacks made Borderline a delight, you’ll appreciate Myfanwy Thomas’s sharp wit as she wakes up with no memory—right in the middle of a supernatural government conspiracy. The Rook balances intrigue and action with a deft, comedic touch.

... morally gray protagonists and anti-heroes?

Vicious by V.E. Schwab

If you were fascinated by Millie’s sometimes unwise, always complex decisions and her willingness to bend the rules, Vicious offers a compelling cast of characters whose superpowers are matched only by their moral ambiguity. Victor and Eli’s rivalry is a masterclass in gray ethics and anti-heroic choices.

... urban fantasy with a vivid, shadowy magical society?

An Unkindness of Magicians by Kat Howard

If the gritty, secret faerie society of Los Angeles in Borderline fascinated you, you’ll love the New York magic underworld of An Unkindness of Magicians. Sydney, a powerful outsider, navigates treacherous magical politics and dark secrets in a city hiding a world of spellcasters.

... profound character growth under extraordinary circumstances?

The Girl With All The Gifts by M. R. Carey

If you appreciated Millie’s raw, transformative journey as she finds her place and power, The Girl with All the Gifts delivers that same punch. Melanie’s evolution from a sheltered experiment to a force who changes her world is both heartbreaking and deeply satisfying.
