In The Bone Shard Daughter, did you enjoy ...

... a multi-layered plot with intersecting character arcs and secrets?

The City Of Brass by S. A. Chakraborty

If you were hooked by the intricate, interwoven storylines in The Bone Shard Daughter—from Lin’s quest for memory and power, to Jovis’s reluctant heroism and Phalue’s political struggles—you’ll love The City of Brass. S.A. Chakraborty deftly balances the ambitions, secrets, and destinies of Nahri, Ali, and Dara as their paths cross in the magical city of Daevabad, revealing conspiracies and shifting alliances that keep you guessing at every turn.

... morally ambiguous heroes navigating rebellion and loyalty?

The Unbroken by C. L. Clark

If you were drawn to Lin’s ethical dilemmas and Jovis’s conflicted loyalties in The Bone Shard Daughter, The Unbroken will captivate you. Touraine and Luca are both caught between duty, rebellion, and personal desire, making choices that blur the lines between heroism and self-interest in a tense, colonized empire. Their moral struggles add depth and realism to the high-stakes narrative.

... a complex, rule-based magic system integrated with technology?

Foundryside by Robert Jackson Bennett

If the unique bone shard magic—its intricate rules and mysterious origins—was a highlight for you in The Bone Shard Daughter, you’ll be fascinated by the scriving technology of Foundryside. Sancia’s world is shaped by magic that acts like programmable logic, with strict limitations and clever applications. The book offers the same sense of discovery and wonder as Lin’s experiments and forbidden knowledge.

... an epic scope with multiple kingdoms, cultures, and histories?

The Priory Of The Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon

If you loved the sweeping, empire-spanning setting of The Bone Shard Daughter, with its islands, ancient threats, and layered mythology, The Priory of the Orange Tree will immerse you in an even grander tapestry. Shannon’s novel spans continents and generations, building a world rich in history, dragons, and political intrigue—perfect for fans of epic fantasy.

... strong character growth through trauma, ambition, and change?

The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang

If Lin’s transformation from a sheltered imperial daughter to a decisive leader resonated with you, The Poppy War offers an even more intense journey. Watching Rin evolve from an underestimated orphan to a powerful force—enduring brutal training, war, and difficult choices—will grip readers who crave deep, sometimes painful, character development.
