If Elliot’s constant quips and meta commentary made you grin, you’ll love the way Carry On skewers Chosen One and boarding‑school tropes while still delivering heart. Simon’s grumpy/earnest chaos, Baz’s deadpan barbs, and Penelope’s practical brilliance echo the witty banter you enjoyed between Elliot, Serene-Heart-in-the-Chaos-of-Battle, and Luke Sunborn—right down to the delightfully self-aware dialogue that turns clichés on their head.

You liked watching Elliot navigate classes, drills, and the ever‑present danger of the Border camp; A Deadly Education drops you into the Scholomance, where survival is literally graded. El (another razor‑tongued narrator) wrestles with study halls, alliances, and lethal “field trips,” much like Elliot juggling strategy lessons and combat practice—only here the stakes bite back, and the extra credit can kill.

If Elliot and Luke’s years‑long, prickly‑to‑tender evolution hooked you, The Raven Boys offers that same patient, aching build. Blue’s wary connection with Gansey deepens alongside the complicated loyalties among Gansey, Adam, and Ronan; it mirrors the way Elliot’s barbs soften into trust. Expect found family dynamics, unspoken feelings, and emotional payoffs earned over secrets, quests, and long nights together.

Loved Elliot’s treaty work with mermaids, harpies, and elves—and the way his empathy turns skirmishes into alliances? The Goblin Emperor centers on Maia, a half‑goblin thrust into an elven court, who must bridge cultures with tact and courage. Like Elliot negotiating peace across the Border, Maia survives intrigue and prejudice by listening, learning protocol, and choosing diplomacy over the sword.

If Elliot’s arc from defensive, mouthy kid to principled diplomat hit you in the heart, Alanna’s transformation will too. Disguised as a boy to train as a knight, she stumbles through lessons, bruises, and friendships that test her grit—much like Elliot’s years at the Border camp. You’ll get skill‑building, stubborn courage, and that same sense of a young person choosing who they want to become.
