If you were drawn to the relentless mission at the heart of The Ninth Rain—where Vintage, Fell-Noon, and Tormalin set out to uncover the truth behind the fell-wind—you'll love The Bone Ships. Here, a ragtag crew must hunt a legendary sea dragon to save their people, facing deadly battles and impossible odds. The sense of purpose and momentum will sweep you up just as much as the quest for answers did in Jen Williams' world.

If you loved following the diverse, contrasting personalities of Vintage, Fell-Noon, and Tormalin in The Ninth Rain, you'll be captivated by the ensemble in City of Stairs. Shara, Sigrud, and Mulaghesh each bring unique skills and secrets to a tangled web of intrigue, making for a compelling, character-driven story where everyone has a vital role to play.

If you appreciated how characters like Fell-Noon and Tormalin confronted their pasts and changed throughout The Ninth Rain, you'll find Maia's journey in The Goblin Emperor deeply satisfying. Watching Maia grow from an uncertain outsider to a confident, compassionate ruler—despite betrayal and political machinations—delivers the same emotional resonance and powerful character evolution.

If you enjoyed the morally gray choices and complicated loyalties of characters like Tormalin and Fell-Noon in The Ninth Rain, The Lies of Locke Lamora will be a treat. Locke and his band of thieves operate in a world where survival means blurring the lines between hero and villain—and every scheme is laced with wit, loyalty, and betrayal.

If it was the rich, mysterious world of Sarn and the Eborans that enchanted you in The Ninth Rain, you'll be spellbound by the city of Tevanne in Foundryside. The intricate magic system, layered histories, and competing factions make the world feel alive—much like the haunted ruins and ancient secrets that drew you into Jen Williams' fantasy.
