In Peregrine, did you enjoy ...

... the whimsical humor and clever wit?

Bridge of Birds by Barry Hughart

If you loved the sly humor and sparkling, erudite wit that carried Peregrine through its fantastical lands, you'll revel in Bridge of Birds. The adventures of Master Li and Number Ten Ox are brimming with wordplay, absurd situations, and a deft comedic touch that blends seamlessly with myth and adventure.

... the lush, immersive worldbuilding?

Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell by Susanna Clarke

If you were enchanted by the intricate, layered world of Peregrine—with its detailed societies, customs, and histories—you'll be swept away by Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell, where Regency England is rendered with such thoroughness and magical depth that the setting becomes a character in its own right.

... the unpredictable plot twists and sudden reversals?

The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers

If it was the delightfully unpredictable plot of Peregrine—with its sudden turns, hidden identities, and jaw-dropping surprises—that kept you turning the pages, The Anubis Gates will astonish you. Powers crafts a labyrinthine adventure of time travel and magic, where nothing is quite what it seems and surprises lurk around every corner.

... the morally ambiguous protagonist navigating a strange world?

The Book of the New Sun: Shadow & Claw by Gene Wolfe

If you were fascinated by Peregrine's ambiguous morality and the way he stumbles through a world both wondrous and treacherous, you'll be equally riveted by Severian in Shadow & Claw. Wolfe's protagonist is complex, flawed, and often uncertain of his own motives—a perfect match for readers drawn to shades of gray in their heroes.

... the philosophical exploration beneath the fantasy adventure?

The Once and Future King by T. H. White

If it was the philosophical undercurrents—the questions about power, morality, and the nature of good—that resonated with you in Peregrine, you'll find much to ponder in The Once and Future King. This Arthurian classic wrestles with profound ideas, all while enchanting with magical exploits and memorable characters.
