If you enjoyed the palace intrigue and shifting alliances of Sky, you'll love The Goblin Emperor. Maia, an unexpected heir thrust into a deadly imperial court, must navigate treacherous politics, hidden conspiracies, and ever-changing loyalties to survive. Like Yeine, Maia is an outsider who must quickly learn the rules of a dangerous game in order to claim his place in a world of ambition and betrayal.
If you were captivated by the layered gods, cities, and cultures of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, The Bone Season offers a similarly immersive experience. Dive into Shannon's alternate London, where clairvoyants like Paige Mahoney navigate a society full of secret histories, deadly power structures, and mysterious otherworldly overlords. The depth and uniqueness of the world will keep you turning pages.
If you were drawn to Yeine's moral quandaries and the gods' often ambiguous guidance, you'll appreciate Cazaril's journey in The Curse of Chalion. The protagonist must make harrowing decisions in a world where divine intervention is as much a curse as a blessing, and the lines between right and wrong are blurred by politics and fate.
If you loved watching Yeine evolve from an outsider to a woman of power and resolve, Uprooted offers a similarly satisfying character arc. Agnieszka is an ordinary village girl who must confront both her own fears and a corrupt, magical forest, growing into her own strength and agency in the process.
If the mythic gods and ancient powers of The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms fascinated you, try The Golem and the Jinni. Set in 19th-century New York, this enchanting tale brings together a golem from Jewish folklore and a jinni from Middle Eastern legend, weaving a narrative rich with mythological resonance and cultural depth.
