If you were captivated by the sweeping, multi-generational saga and the large-scale conflicts of The Stone Sky, you'll love The Grace of Kings. Ken Liu crafts an epic tale of revolution and empire, with shifting alliances and battles that reshape the world. The story spans continents and decades, much like Jemisin's ambitious narrative, offering you a richly woven tapestry of characters, cultures, and history.

If the intricate, living world of the Stillness and its environmental cataclysms fascinated you in The Stone Sky, The Fifth Sacred Thing will draw you in with its lush, deeply imagined post-apocalyptic San Francisco. Starhawk explores a society built on ecological harmony and resistance against environmental devastation, blending magic, politics, and survival in ways reminiscent of Jemisin's powerful worldbuilding.

If you appreciated the varied perspectives and strong representation in The Stone Sky—from Essun's fierce determination to the complexities of Hoa and Nassun—you'll find The Tiger Flu equally compelling. Larissa Lai introduces a future world shaped by queer, feminist, and Asian diasporic experiences, centering diverse characters in a narrative as inventive and challenging as Jemisin's.

If you were drawn to the nuanced, sometimes morally ambiguous choices faced by Essun and the other stone eaters in The Stone Sky, you'll be riveted by Aster's journey in An Unkindness of Ghosts. Solomon's protagonist grapples with trauma, justice, and survival aboard a generation ship marked by brutal hierarchy and oppression, echoing Jemisin's exploration of flawed, deeply human heroes.

If you loved witnessing Essun and Nassun's profound transformations in The Stone Sky, The Book of Phoenix will resonate with you. Okorafor crafts the journey of Phoenix, a genetically engineered woman whose growth—physically, emotionally, and morally—drives her to challenge the forces that created her. The novel’s focus on self-discovery and change mirrors the intense, personal growth at the heart of Jemisin’s work.
