An Unkindness Of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon
If you loved Noam’s difficult ethical choices and the blurred lines between right and wrong in The Fever King, you’ll be gripped by Aster’s journey in An Unkindness of Ghosts. Solomon’s novel asks hard questions about justice and complicity as Aster seeks both survival and change aboard a rigidly stratified generation ship—offering the same blend of personal stakes and societal critique.
... futuristic dystopian settings with political intrigue and resistance movements?
Want by Cindy Pon
If the high-stakes political conspiracies and power struggles in The Fever King kept you turning pages, Want delivers that same pulse-pounding intrigue. Follow Jason Zhou as he infiltrates the wealthy elite of a polluted, near-future Taipei, caught between personal loyalty and the fight for justice—much like Noam’s dangerous alliances and betrayals.
... richly detailed worlds with layered cultures, history, and technology?
The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi
If you were fascinated by the immersive, intricately built world of The Fever King, you’ll be swept up in the lush, alternate-Paris setting of The Gilded Wolves. Chokshi’s novel offers dazzling inventions, hidden histories, and a vivid sense of place that will satisfy your craving for stories where the world feels as alive as the characters.
... stories with diverse characters and queer relationships at the forefront?
Crier's War by Nina Varela
If you appreciated the nuanced LGBTQ+ representation and exploration of identity in The Fever King, Crier’s War is a must-read. It centers a slow-burn romance between two young women on opposite sides of a revolution, with themes of power, difference, and belonging woven throughout.
... fast-paced plots with young protagonists facing life-or-death stakes and rapid, unpredictable developments?
The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
If you enjoyed the relentless pace and constant tension in The Fever King, you’ll be hooked by the nonstop action and escalating danger in The Knife of Never Letting Go.
