In Sufficiently Advanced Magic, did you enjoy ...

... a protagonist on a quest driven by a dangerous objective?

Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett

If you loved following Corin's relentless pursuit to climb the spire and uncover its mysteries in Sufficiently Advanced Magic, you'll be drawn into Foundryside as Sancia embarks on a perilous heist that quickly escalates into a desperate mission to prevent catastrophic magical technology from falling into the wrong hands. The story’s momentum and the protagonist’s unwavering focus on her goal will keep you hooked.

... an intricate, logical magic system with clear rules?

Mistborn: The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson

If you were fascinated by the sigil-based, rule-heavy magic system that Corin learns to master in Sufficiently Advanced Magic, you’ll love how Mistborn: The Final Empire introduces Allomancy—a rigorously structured system where metals grant specific powers. Watching Vin unravel and exploit the boundaries of this magic will scratch the same itch for clever magical problem-solving.

... detailed, immersive worldbuilding with unique cultures and history?

The Black Prism by Brent Weeks

If the labyrinthine towers, mysterious relics, and rich lore of Serpent Spire captivated you in Sufficiently Advanced Magic, The Black Prism will immerse you in a world where magic is tied to color, politics are deadly, and history runs deep. The Chromeria’s layered society and the complexities of light-based magic provide a setting as intricate and lush as you could hope for.

... a protagonist’s significant personal growth in the face of adversity?

The Name Of The Wind by Patrick Rothfuss

If Corin's journey from uncertain student to capable, determined adventurer resonated with you in Sufficiently Advanced Magic, you’ll be enthralled by Kvothe’s evolution in The Name of the Wind. Kvothe battles hardship and learns hard lessons at a magical university, changing profoundly as he seeks both knowledge and survival.

... a story with a fast-moving, action-packed plot?

Skyward by Brandon Sanderson

If you enjoyed the relentless pace of challenges, duels, and magical threats in Sufficiently Advanced Magic, Skyward delivers non-stop action as Spensa fights to become a starfighter pilot. The book’s rapid developments, high stakes, and constant sense of danger will keep your adrenaline pumping from first page to last.
