If you loved the way His Majesty’s Dragon weaves dragons into an alternate history, you'll delight in Tooth and Claw. Walton crafts a Victorian-era society—populated entirely by dragons—where manners, inheritance, and social climbing are just as important as fire-breathing. The clever integration of dragon biology and etiquette into a familiar historical framework offers that same sense of immersive, detailed worldbuilding.

If you appreciated watching Laurence and Temeraire grow through adversity, you'll be swept up by Sabriel. The titular character is forced to assume her father's duties as the Abhorsen, confronting deathly dangers and learning hard truths about herself. Sabriel's personal journey from sheltered student to powerful necromancer delivers that same satisfying arc of character growth amid magical peril.

If you were fascinated by the Napoleonic backdrop and the integration of dragons into warfare in His Majesty’s Dragon, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell offers a similarly rich tapestry. Set in an alternate England where magic is revived amidst war with Napoleon, the novel blends military strategy with arcane spectacle and political intrigue. Watching magicians alter the course of history will feel both familiar and refreshingly new.

If you enjoyed the nuanced portrayal of power struggles and diplomacy as Laurence and Temeraire navigate British and foreign authorities, you'll be drawn into Maia's journey in The Goblin Emperor. Thrust unexpectedly onto the imperial throne, Maia must survive political machinations and build alliances in a hostile court, relying on his wits and kindness instead of brute force. The intricate court intrigue and personal stakes will keep you hooked.

If you found yourself smiling at Temeraire’s dry observations and the banter between him and Laurence, you’ll revel in The Lies of Locke Lamora. Lynch’s novel is packed with sharp dialogue, elaborate cons, and darkly comic moments as Locke and his gang outwit both the law and criminal underworld of Camorr. The humor and camaraderie among the characters will remind you of your favorite moments from Novik’s work.
