If you loved how Nettle & Bone sent Marra on a perilous, magical quest to save her sister, you’ll be swept away by Agnieszka’s journey in Uprooted. The story centers on a young woman thrust into a mission to confront a corrupt forest, guided by unpredictable magic and accompanied by an unlikely ally. The sense of purpose, escalating stakes, and the personal nature of the quest will feel right at home.

If you were charmed by the quirky, loyal ensemble that Marra gathers—including a dust-wife, a fairy godmother, and a demon-possessed chicken—you’ll appreciate the cast surrounding Maia in The Goblin Emperor. While Maia is the central figure, the novel shines in its depiction of diverse, memorable characters who each play a vital role in the protagonist’s journey through a treacherous court.

If you enjoyed watching Marra evolve from a timid princess to a determined, courageous heroine, Spinning Silver offers a similarly satisfying arc. Miryem, alongside other women, undergoes profound growth as she confronts impossible odds, learns her own strength, and changes the fate of her world. The emotional journey and transformation are just as powerful and resonant.

If the clever humor and sardonic banter between Marra and her companions made you smile, you’ll find much to love in The House in the Cerulean Sea. Linus Baker’s adventures are filled with warmth, quirky dialogue, and gentle wit, making the book as heartwarming as it is funny.

If the rich, inventive worldbuilding of Nettle & Bone—with its graveyards, magical tasks, and eerie folklore—captivated you, The Bone Ships will immerse you in an equally unique setting. Set on the high seas with ships made of dragon bones, the novel is packed with vivid detail, strange creatures, and a society ruled by its own peculiar laws and magic.
