The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang
If you were drawn to the intense ambition and purpose that propels the Kaul siblings in Jade City, you'll be riveted by Rin's relentless pursuit of power and survival in The Poppy War. From grueling military exams to the chaos of war, Rin's journey is driven by personal and political goals that escalate with every chapter.
... a tightly-knit group of main characters with distinct personalities?

If you loved following the complex dynamics within the Kaul family and their allies in Jade City, you'll enjoy the camaraderie and friction among the Gentleman Bastards in The Lies of Locke Lamora.

... characters who make morally complex choices and operate in gray areas?
Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse
If you were fascinated by the morally gray decisions of Hilo, Shae, and Anden in Jade City, Black Sun will grip you with its cast of protagonists—Serapio, Xiala, and Naranpa—each navigating power, loyalty, and sacrifice in a world where right and wrong are never simple.
... intricate settings with rich cultures, histories, and systems?
City Of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett
If you were absorbed by the detailed world of Janloon, its Green Bone clans, and the culture built around jade, you'll be equally enthralled by the city of Bulikov in City of Stairs. The layered history, complex politics, and everyday details make this world feel tangible and alive.
... political maneuvering, power struggles, and conspiracies?
The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson
If the shifting alliances, betrayals, and clan politics of Jade City kept you turning pages, The Traitor Baru Cormorant will do the same. Follow Baru as she manipulates, schemes, and sacrifices in a labyrinth of empire-building and rebellion, where every move has deadly consequences.
