If you loved the relentless ambition and high-stakes clan conflicts driving Jade War—from Hilo's struggle to protect his family to Shae’s bold political moves—you'll be gripped by The Poppy War. Rin’s single-minded pursuit of power, her commitment to survival against overwhelming odds, and her role in shaping the fate of her nation create a similarly goal-driven plot that rarely lets up.

If you found yourself fascinated by the tangled loyalties and shifting alliances among the Kaul siblings and the broader No Peak clan in Jade War, you'll love Ninefox Gambit. The novel features a strategic, multi-faceted cast—Cheris, Jedao, and their conflicted officers—each with their own agendas, making every battle and betrayal matter.

If you appreciated the morally gray decisions of characters like Shae and Hilo—leaders willing to sacrifice almost anything for family and power—then The Traitor Baru Cormorant is a must-read. Baru’s rise through the ranks of an imperial regime leads her to choices that blur the line between heroism and villainy, echoing the difficult trade-offs in Jade War.

If you were captivated by the intricate Green Bone society, with its rules, rituals, and jade-based powers, then The City of Brass will draw you in with its lushly described Daevabad, vibrant magical politics, and competing factions. The world feels just as alive and complex as Janloon.

If Shae Kaul’s determination, intelligence, and growth kept you turning the pages in Jade War, you’ll be just as enthralled by Touraine in The Unbroken. Touraine’s journey from soldier to political player, wrestling with loyalty, identity, and ambition, provides the kind of layered, powerful female protagonist you enjoyed.
