If you were drawn to the vibrant and intricate world of Majipoor in Lord Valentine's Castle, you'll love immersing yourself in the courtly intrigue and lush setting of The Goblin Emperor. Addison crafts a realm brimming with its own histories, customs, and languages. As with Silverberg, the sense of place is palpable—each hall and airship feels lived-in, and the politics and etiquette are as much a part of the world as its geography.

If you enjoyed the grand, panoramic sweep of Lord Valentine's Castle, where the journey takes you across the breadth of a continent, then The Lions of Al-Rassan will captivate you. Kay's novel traverses great distances and weaves the destinies of nations and diverse peoples, much like the sprawling journey of Valentine and his companions. The sense of history, scale, and the fate of empires makes this a truly epic read.

If you loved following Valentine and his eclectic troupe of travelers—each with distinct personalities and skills—then The Lies of Locke Lamora will delight you. Lynch's story features the Gentleman Bastards, a band of clever rogues whose camaraderie, banter, and teamwork are as central as the plot itself. The ensemble dynamic is rich and engaging, providing that same sense of journeying with a memorable group.

If you appreciated Valentine's personal journey towards reclaiming his identity and authority, you'll be fascinated by Myfanwy Thomas's odyssey in The Rook. She awakens with no memory and must navigate a hidden magical bureaucracy, piecing together who she is while growing into her power. Like Valentine, her arc is one of transformation and self-discovery, making for a satisfying tale of growth.

If you enjoyed the sense of purpose and momentum in Lord Valentine's Castle, with Valentine’s quest to reclaim his throne, you'll be enthralled by Cazaril’s journey in The Curse of Chalion.
