The book’s pulse-pounding goal-driven plot will keep you turning pages late into the night.

... the growth and transformation of the main character?

Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin

If Maia’s transformation from a humble tailor’s daughter into a confident, resilient heroine resonated with you, you’ll be equally captivated by Lou’s journey in Serpent & Dove. Watching Lou confront her past, embrace her powers, and navigate impossible choices offers the same compelling sense of personal growth.

... the vivid, immersive world inspired by Asian folklore?

Six Crimson Cranes by Elizabeth Lim

If you were enchanted by the lush, myth-inspired worldbuilding and magical Asian setting of Spin the Dawn, you’ll be delighted by Six Crimson Cranes. Shiori’s journey through a beautifully rendered kingdom full of spirits, curses, and ancient magic is a feast for anyone who loves detailed, mythology-infused fantasy worlds.

... the use of intricate, rule-based magic?

The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco

If you enjoyed following Maia as she learned the rules and limits of her magical tailoring, you’ll be fascinated by Tea’s mastery of bone magic in The Bone Witch. The book’s complex magic system, with its rituals and consequences, offers the same sense of wonder and discovery.

... the presence of a strong, determined heroine?

Girls of Paper and Fire by Natasha Ngan

If you admired Maia’s courage and determination as she faced overwhelming odds, you’ll be inspired by Lei in Girls of Paper and Fire. Lei’s strength in standing up against oppression and fighting for her future makes her a protagonist you’ll root for just as fiercely.
