If the tangled loyalties aboard Vivacia hooked you—Althea fighting for her birthright, Brashen trying to prove himself, Wintrow bound to a ship he never wanted—then you’ll love the windbitten crews of the Tide Child in The Bone Ships. Like Kennit’s deadly charisma reshaping the Pirate Isles, Lucky Meas and Joron Twiner weld a motley crew into something formidable, all while hunting great sea-dragons and navigating brutal maritime law. It’s that same heady mix of shipboard politics, perilous voyages, and found‑on‑the‑deck family that made Bingtown’s waters so irresistible.

If Wintrow’s bruising journey from monastery to slave-branded deck, or Malta’s growth from selfish schemer to someone who can shoulder real cost, were the heart of Ship of Magic for you, try The Curse of Chalion. Cazaril, shattered by captivity, must rebuild himself within a treacherous court, wrestling with duty and the demands of the divine. Like the Vestrits’ hard lessons under Satrapal neglect and Old Trader pride, this is character change earned through pain, grace, and shrewd political maneuvering.

If Bingtown’s Trader compacts, Rain Wild secrets, and wizardwood lore captivated you—right down to how Vivacia’s sentience tangles with contracts and tradition—The Scar will scratch that itch. A floating city of lashed-together ships prowls unknown seas, governed by byzantine customs and perilous bargains. As with Kennit’s calculated rise and the Vestrits’ entanglement with the Satrap, every choice has legal and cultural hooks; the ocean itself harbors wonders as unsettling as anything whispered in the Rain Wilds.

If you loved how Ship of Magic weaves Althea’s struggle, Brashen’s redemption, Wintrow’s faith, and Kennit’s ambition into one roiling tide, The Priory of the Orange Tree offers a grand, multi-voice tapestry. Courtly strategists, dragon-riders, and priestesses maneuver across far-flung realms, with faith and legend colliding much as the Rain Wild mysteries press on Bingtown’s trade politics. Multiple perspectives converge into a sweeping, satisfying reckoning—like watching every thread from the Vestrits to the Pirate Isles knot tight.

If Kennit’s charisma and ruthlessness fascinated you—and if you enjoyed watching Bingtown’s genteel commerce bare its teeth—The Lies of Locke Lamora dives into the grift at street level. In Camorr’s canals and counting houses, Locke and his crew play long cons that tangle with crime lords and mercantile power, echoing the way contracts and reputations steer the Vestrits’ fate. It’s sharp, dangerous fun with the same taste for clever gambits and the uneasy ethics that made Kennit so compelling.
