In Tales of the Flat Earth: Night’s Master, did you enjoy ...

... the lush, poetic world and mythic atmosphere?

The Forgotten Beasts Of Eld by Patricia A. McKillip

If you were enchanted by the beautifully wrought, dreamlike landscapes and the sense of ageless myth in Night’s Master, you’ll be transported by The Forgotten Beasts of Eld. McKillip weaves a tale of Sybel and her magical beasts with lyrical prose and a world that feels both ancient and timeless, echoing Lee’s evocative storytelling.

... morally complex, ambiguous protagonists?

The Etched City by K. J. Bishop

If you found Azhrarn’s enigmatic and sometimes unsettling morality compelling in Night’s Master, The Etched City will draw you in with its unpredictable anti-heroes, Raule and Gwynn. The novel’s protagonists tread morally grey paths through a surreal, decadent city, mirroring Lee’s fascination with the beauty and darkness of ambiguous characters.

... mythic, epic storytelling that spans ages and civilizations?

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

If you loved the grand, almost mythological sweep of Night’s Master, you’ll be enthralled by Shadow & Claw. Wolfe crafts the story of Severian, a torturer exiled from his guild, across a future Earth steeped in legend and decay. The epic, timeless scope and the sense of cosmic forces at play will feel both familiar and exhilarating.

... loose, mysterious magic and folkloric wonder?

Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente

If you were captivated by the mysterious, undefined magic and the sense of dark fairy tale in Night’s Master, Deathless will sweep you away. Valente reimagines Russian folklore with a haunting, lyrical style, where magic is ever-present, enigmatic, and deeply tied to myth, much like Lee’s approach.

... ornate, poetic, and evocative prose style?

The Gormenghast Novels by Mervyn Peake

If you delighted in the lush, poetic language and atmospheric descriptions of Night’s Master, you’ll revel in the sumptuous prose of Titus Groan. Peake’s writing is richly textured, creating a gothic and baroque world that is as much about the beauty of its language as its story.
