If you loved Violet Sorrengail’s intense struggle to survive and excel under impossible odds at Basgiath War College, you’ll be hooked by Rin’s journey through the brutal military academy of Sinegard. The Poppy War features a protagonist clawing her way to power in a cutthroat environment, with every test and battle pushing her to her limits. The relentless drive toward a larger, world-changing mission echoes the same adrenaline and tension.

If Violet’s tenacity and vulnerability kept you turning the pages, you’ll love Lou in Serpent & Dove. Lou is witty, strong-willed, and deeply flawed, navigating a dangerous world where her very existence is at stake. Her dynamic with the people around her, especially the slow-burn romance and life-or-death stakes, provide the same engaging, character-driven energy.

If you were breathless from the non-stop action and constant peril Violet faces, An Ember in the Ashes will have you racing through the chapters. Laia and Elias are thrust into deadly trials, betrayals, and shifting alliances, with every chapter ramping up the tension and leaving little time to rest—just like the pulse-pounding pace of Fourth Wing.

If unraveling Basgiath’s dragon bond rituals and magical hierarchy fascinated you, you’ll be drawn into the layered magic system and secret societies of Legendborn. Bree’s journey into a world of ancient magic, with complex rules and dangerous initiations, mirrors the thrill of discovering the inner workings of a world where power is earned and deadly.

If the shocking reveals and twists kept you glued to Fourth Wing, you’ll love the unpredictable turns in Red Queen. Mare Barrow’s world is riddled with secrets, shifting loyalties, and game-changing betrayals—each revelation forcing her to question everything and everyone she trusts. The jaw-dropping moments and constant surprises will keep you guessing until the very end.
