In The Stars Are Legion, did you enjoy ...

... a harrowing quest driving the plot?

Ancestral Night by Elizabeth Bear

If you found yourself gripped by Zan’s desperate mission and relentless pursuit of freedom in The Stars Are Legion, you’ll be drawn into Haimey Dz’s journey through salvage, cosmic mysteries, and ethical dilemmas in Ancestral Night. The propulsive narrative centers on a high-stakes objective that pulls you through suspenseful alien encounters and moral quandaries.

... complicated, ambiguous protagonists?

Ninefox Gambit by Yoon Ha Lee

If Jayd’s and Zan’s shifting loyalties and murky motives fascinated you in The Stars Are Legion, you’ll be riveted by Kel Cheris and Shuos Jedao in Ninefox Gambit. Both books feature protagonists who blur the lines between hero and villain, forcing you to question their choices and the systems they fight within.

... richly imagined, alien cultures and societies?

A Door Into Ocean by Joan Slonczewski

If you were captivated by the living worlds and unique societies of the Legion, you’ll love A Door Into Ocean. Slonczewski crafts an intricate, all-female alien culture on a water world, exploring themes of biology, society, and resistance in ways that echo Hurley’s inventive worldbuilding.

... gritty, dark, and visceral tone?

God’s War by Kameron Hurley

If the blood-soaked atmosphere and relentless violence of The Stars Are Legion appealed to you, God’s War delivers even more. The story is steeped in war, body horror, and tough choices, with Nyx navigating a hostile world as brutal and unflinching as the Legion.

... complex, compelling female leads in a matriarchal society?

Ammonite by Nicola Griffith

If you loved the focus on strong, multifaceted women navigating strange worlds in The Stars Are Legion, you’ll be equally drawn to Marghe’s journey in Ammonite. The novel explores gender, survival, and community in a world where women have built their own society against the odds.
