If you loved the atmospheric Russian wilderness and the interwoven folk legends in The Bear and the Nightingale, you'll be swept away by Uprooted. Novik crafts a lush, magical landscape rooted in Eastern European myth, where Agnieszka must confront an ancient, malevolent forest and unravel the secrets of her village’s past.
If Vasya’s path from childhood to empowered womanhood resonated with you, you'll find a similar, enchanting coming-of-age tale in The Girl Who Drank the Moon. Watch Luna grow up surrounded by magic, unraveling mysteries about her powers and her place in a world wary of the unknown.
If you were captivated by the folkloric spirits and the sense of ancient myth in The Bear and the Nightingale, Spinning Silver will draw you into a world of winter demons, clever bargains, and icy magic that echoes the old stories of Russia and Eastern Europe.
If you admired Vasya’s strength and defiance in a world that tries to confine her, you’ll be drawn to Évike’s journey in The Wolf and the Woodsman. Évike faces prejudice, ancient powers, and political upheaval, forging her own path through a Hungary-inspired world laced with magic and danger.
If you enjoyed the gradual, immersive unfolding of Vasya’s story and the atmospheric depiction of rural Russia, The Golem and the Jinni offers a similarly slow-burn narrative. Follow two magical beings as they navigate an evocative, turn-of-the-century New York, their stories delicately interwoven with the city’s rhythms and secrets.
