If it was the sudden horn-blown leap from mundane life into a constructed realm that hooked you in The Maker of Universes, you’ll love how Corwin wakes on Earth and stumbles back into Amber, the "real" world from which infinite shadow worlds derive. Like Wolff reclaiming his true identity as a Lord and navigating rival powers, Corwin has to piece together his past, survive duels among godlike siblings, and master the Pattern to traverse realities—fast, witty, and full of knife-edge intrigue.

You enjoyed how the "magic" of the World of Tiers is really the handiwork of godlike makers—Lords whose tech reshapes reality. In The Shadow of the Torturer, Severian wanders a dying Urth where relic devices, resurrected beings, and reality-bending artifacts are treated as occult wonders. As Wolff/Jadawin rediscovers the science behind his universe’s miracles, Severian navigates a civilization that mistakes dazzling tech for mysticism—rich, eerie, and full of hidden machinery behind the curtain.

If the awe of climbing the artificial tiers—each culture a deliberate design—and teasing out the intentions of the Lords thrilled you, Ringworld delivers that same jolt of discovery. Louis Wu’s expedition lands on a mind-bending megastructure and, like Wolff probing the rules of his pocket universe, must unravel the engineering marvels, ancient mysteries, and the vanished designers’ purpose as wonder leads straight into danger.

Loved the headlong momentum of Wolff’s chase across stacked realms—duels, captures, escapes, and a daring rescue? A Princess of Mars hits the same pulse: John Carter is hurled to Barsoom and plunges into constant motion—gladiatorial arenas, desert treks, aerial battles—while winning allies and battling tyrants. It’s the same breathless, swashbuckling energy that propels Wolff through the tiers toward a captive beloved.

If the meticulously varied levels of the World of Tiers—and Wolff’s amnesia giving way to his true status as a Lord—were your sweet spot, Lord Valentine’s Castle parallels it beautifully. Valentine awakens on Majipoor—an immense, human-colonized world of floating cities, dream-governance, and guilds—and must journey through its dazzling regions to recover who he is and the authority he once held, much like Jadawin piecing together his dominion.
