In The Serpent and the Wings of Night, did you enjoy ...

... the relentless, high-stakes quest that drives the protagonist?

An Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir

An Ember in the Ashes throws you into a world where Laia must risk everything to save her brother, much like how Oraya is driven by her singular mission to survive the deadly Kejari. If you loved the pulse-pounding momentum and a protagonist who faces impossible odds with determination, you'll find yourself hooked by Laia's journey through a brutal empire and the fierce choices she must make.

... the richly layered world with detailed cultures and supernatural systems?

The Bone Season by Samantha Shannon

If you were drawn in by the immersive world of The Serpent and the Wings of Night—its vampire court politics, intricate magic, and deadly rituals—The Bone Season offers an equally elaborate setting. Paige Mahoney’s London is filled with unique supernatural orders, rigid hierarchies, and a dangerous underworld, giving you that same sense of discovery and depth.

... the protagonist’s transformation and hard-won personal growth?

The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang

If you were captivated by Oraya’s journey from vulnerable outcast to powerful contender, The Poppy War delivers an even grittier arc. Watching Rin fight her way from poverty to military academy—and later, into the heart of war—offers the kind of intense character evolution, self-doubt, and moral reckoning that made Oraya’s growth so compelling.

... dark, morally gray protagonists with questionable motives?

The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller

If you relished the cutthroat, morally ambiguous choices Oraya faces, The Shadows Between Us introduces Alessandra—a heroine who’s just as cunning and unafraid to manipulate her way to power. This book thrives on characters who blur the line between villain and hero, giving you that same seductive, unpredictable energy.

... romantic tension woven into a deadly, fantastical competition?

Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin

If the slow-burn romance and dangerous attraction between Oraya and Raihn kept you turning pages, Serpent & Dove offers another forbidden, high-stakes relationship. Louise and Reid are forced together by circumstance in a world where trust is deadly, and their chemistry—amidst witch hunts and political danger—delivers the same blend of tension, banter, and heart.
