In Children Of Blood And Bone, did you enjoy ...

... the high-stakes quest and urgent missions?

The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin

If you were riveted by Zélie's relentless mission to restore magic and fight tyranny, you'll be swept up by The Fifth Season. Here, Essun embarks on a desperate journey across a fractured world to save her daughter, all while battling oppressive forces and uncovering deep secrets. The relentless drive and ever-present danger will keep you turning the pages.

... a diverse, tightly-knit group of protagonists?

An Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

If you loved the dynamic interplay between Zélie, Amari, Inan, and Tzain, An Ember in the Ashes will draw you in with its shifting perspectives and equally compelling ensemble. Laia, Elias, and Helene each bring unique strengths and vulnerabilities to their shared struggle against a brutal empire, making for an electrifying group story.

... richly detailed worldbuilding inspired by myth and culture?

Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko

The vibrant Orïsha and its mythos make Children of Blood and Bone unforgettable. If that immersive atmosphere captivated you, Raybearer will delight you with its lush West African-inspired empire, intricate traditions, and powerful legends. Tarisai’s journey is steeped in lore, rituals, and the weight of history, transporting you to another beautifully realized world.

... a complex, rule-bound magic system?

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

If you were fascinated by the intricate magic of Orïsha and its clear limitations, The Bone Season offers a similarly nuanced supernatural system. Paige Mahoney navigates a world where clairvoyance is outlawed, and every use of magic is fraught with risk, much like Zélie’s dangerous mastery of her powers.

... strong, multidimensional female leads who challenge oppressive systems?

Legendborn by Tracy Deonn

Zélie's courage and defiance in the face of injustice are mirrored in Bree Matthews of Legendborn. Bree’s determination to uncover the truth behind her mother’s death leads her into a secret society bound by magic and prejudice. Her resilience, vulnerability, and fight for change will resonate deeply with you.
