In The Diviners, did you enjoy ...

... the dynamic interplay of a large, diverse group of main characters?

The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater

If you loved how The Diviners brought together Evie, Sam, Memphis, Theta, and others in a vibrant, interconnected web of personalities and secrets, you'll be drawn to The Raven Boys. The story follows Blue Sargent as she becomes entangled with four very different boys on a quest for a mystical Welsh king. The chemistry and conflict among the group, as well as their individual arcs, create a compelling ensemble that will remind you of your favorite moments in Libba Bray's world.

... strong, nuanced female characters navigating supernatural dangers?

A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray

If Evie's boldness and Theta's resilience in The Diviners resonated with you, you'll appreciate Gemma Doyle in A Great and Terrible Beauty. Set in a mysterious Victorian boarding school, Gemma and her friends confront both the rigid expectations of their era and the perils of a magical realm, forging powerful bonds and facing harrowing choices. The book is rich with layered, complex girls who must navigate both friendship and the supernatural.

... detailed, immersive worldbuilding filled with supernatural intrigue?

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

If you admired the richly atmospheric 1920s New York and the supernatural underbelly of The Diviners, you'll be captivated by the alternate London of The Bone Season. Samantha Shannon crafts a complex world where clairvoyants like Paige Mahoney navigate a society that both exploits and hunts them. The intricate systems of magic and power, along with detailed historical and social layers, make this a treat for fans of immersive settings.

... a multi-layered plot with intertwining mysteries and supernatural threads?

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs

If you were drawn to the weaving together of murder investigations, hidden powers, and apocalyptic threats in The Diviners, you'll enjoy Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. Jacob's journey uncovers a secret world of children with extraordinary abilities, time loops, and sinister enemies, all layered together in a story packed with mystery, suspense, and emotional stakes.

... a blend of humor and wit within a supernatural coming-of-age narrative?

The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness

If you appreciated the sly banter and clever observations sprinkled throughout The Diviners, you'll love the dry wit in The Rest of Us Just Live Here. While strange things happen around them, the main characters are just trying to survive high school and deal with everyday struggles—often with a wry sense of humor. It's a smart, heartfelt, and funny take on the supernatural genre.
