In The Bone Season, did you enjoy ...

... the relentless, high-stakes quest that drives the plot forward?

Red Rising by Pierce Brown

If you loved following Paige as she fought to survive and complete her mission in the clairvoyant underworld of Scion London, you'll be gripped by Darrow's dangerous infiltration of the ruling elite in Red Rising. Like The Bone Season, this story centers on a protagonist risking everything to achieve a near-impossible goal, keeping you turning pages late into the night.

... the intricate, imaginative worldbuilding with secret societies and a fully realized magical system?

An Unkindness of Magicians by Kat Howard

If you were captivated by the elaborate and secretive world of clairvoyants and the Seven Orders in The Bone Season, you'll be drawn into Kat Howard's An Unkindness of Magicians. Set in a hidden magical New York, it unveils powerful houses, rivalries, and arcane rituals that are just as detailed and immersive.

... morally complex protagonists navigating blurry lines between heroism and villainy?

Vicious by V.E. Schwab

If Paige's morally gray choices and conflicted loyalties intrigued you, you'll be fascinated by Victor and Eli in Vicious. Schwab crafts protagonists whose actions challenge your notions of good and evil, making you question who the real hero is with every twist.

... the protagonist's intense personal transformation and growth through adversity?

The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang

If watching Paige struggle with her powers and identity was compelling for you, Rin's journey in The Poppy War will resonate deeply. Both characters are thrust into violent, oppressive systems and must adapt, sharpen their strengths, and grapple with the consequences of their choices.

... the oppressive dystopian society and the fight against its rigid control?

Legend by Marie Lu

If you were absorbed by the totalitarian Scion regime and Paige's resistance within it, Legend offers another thrilling dystopia. You'll be drawn into the cat-and-mouse game between June and Day as they rebel against an authoritarian state, mirroring the tense, high-stakes atmosphere you enjoyed in The Bone Season.
