This novel delivers a truly epic scope, with history and lore woven into every chapter, promising a journey as immersive and expansive as Feist’s.
If you enjoyed following not just Pug and Tomas but a whole cast of distinct, memorable characters in Magician, you’ll love the camaraderie and banter of Locke Lamora and his band of Gentlemen Bastards. Lynch’s novel thrives on the chemistry and shifting loyalties within its ensemble, providing the same rich group dynamics that made Feist’s story so engaging.
If witnessing Pug’s growth from a humble orphan to a powerful magician resonated with you, The Name of the Wind offers a mesmerizing look at Kvothe’s own rise from childhood hardships to legendary status. Rothfuss crafts a coming-of-age tale full of wonder, struggle, and self-discovery, capturing the same sense of personal evolution that made Magician so compelling.
If you were drawn to the way Feist creates the interconnected worlds of Midkemia and Kelewan—each with their own traditions, magic, and conflicts—A Wizard of Earthsea will delight you with its archipelago of islands, unique magical traditions, and deep sense of place. Le Guin’s worldbuilding is subtle yet profound, making every corner of Earthsea feel alive and storied.
If you loved the intricate magic systems of Magician, from the mysterious Tsurani magics to the disciplined learning of Midkemian sorcerers, Mistborn will fascinate you with its unique Allomancy, where ingesting metals grants different powers. Sanderson’s magic system is both original and deeply logical, allowing for creative problem-solving and epic confrontations.
