If Christopher’s trips through the Place Between to other worlds—and the way his choices there ripple back home—hooked you, you’ll love how September steps into Fairyland, where every favor has a price and clever bartering can save a life. Like Christopher’s run-ins with Uncle Ralph’s illicit otherworld trade and his rescue of Millie from the Living Asheth’s temple, September navigates tricky rulers (the Marquess), strict magical rules, and consequences that follow her back. It’s whimsical, sharp, and full of that portal-quest thrill.

If the sly wit of Chrestomanci’s world—Christopher’s deadpan reactions to outrageous magic, the tart asides at Chrestomanci Castle, even the absurdity of smuggling goods between worlds—made you grin, Howl’s Moving Castle doubles down on that charm. Sophie’s no-nonsense attitude collides hilariously with Howl’s flamboyance and Calcifer’s snark, while magical contracts and slippery identities echo the tricksy deals that tangled Christopher and Millie. It’s cozy chaos with barbed humor and heart.

Christopher’s journey from reckless, multiverse-hopping boy—burning through his lives and dabbling in Uncle Ralph’s schemes—to someone worthy of Chrestomanci’s mantle mirrors Ged’s hard-won maturation. In A Wizard of Earthsea, Ged unleashes a shadow through arrogance and must confront it, much as Christopher must face the consequences of his crossings and his ties to the smugglers. If you loved seeing Christopher grow through mistakes, Ged’s voyage offers a profound, resonant arc.

If you enjoyed Christopher being gathered into Chrestomanci Castle, tutored, and held to higher standards after the chaos with Tacroy and the Living Asheth’s temple, you’ll click with Joel’s apprenticeship under Professor Fitch. The Rithmatist dives into lessons, duels, and investigations on campus, where precise rules of chalk magic matter as much as quick thinking—echoing Christopher’s shift from wild world-hopping to guided mastery and responsibility.

If the light, mischievous feel of Christopher’s adventures—like outwitting smugglers, navigating goddesses in cat form, and rescuing Millie with quick thinking—won you over, Dealing with Dragons delivers that same buoyant magic. Princess Cimorene refuses her fairy-tale script, negotiates with dragons, and deflates pompous wizards with practical wit. The hijinks are clever rather than grim, and every magical mishap becomes an opportunity for ingenuity and fun.
