In The Vine Witch, did you enjoy ...

... richly imagined, folklore-infused settings?

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

If you loved the lush, atmospheric world of The Vine Witch, you'll be swept away by The Bear and the Nightingale. Set in the wintry Russian wilderness, it weaves fairy-tale magic, local superstition, and the natural world into an immersive tapestry. Just as you were captivated by the mystical vineyards of Chanceaux, Arden’s tale will enchant you with its detailed portrayal of folklore, spirits, and the clash between old and new beliefs.

... magic that is mysterious, wild, and deeply entwined with nature?

Uprooted by Naomi Novik

If you were drawn to the unpredictable and earthy magic in The Vine Witch, you’ll find Uprooted just as enchanting. Novik’s story follows Agnieszka, whose raw and untamed magical abilities echo Elena’s struggles to master her own powers. Both stories center on heroines contending with curses, dark enchantments, and a bond to the land itself, with magic that feels organic and dangerous.

... stories featuring women uncovering magical legacies and facing curses?

The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane by Katherine Howe

If you enjoyed following Elena as she struggled to reclaim her life and powers after a devastating curse in The Vine Witch, you’ll be fascinated by Connie’s journey in The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane. Both novels feature strong women unraveling secrets of their mystical heritage, haunted by the past, and confronting dark magic that threatens their present.

... stories centering on complicated, resilient women with magical abilities?

Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman

If you admired Elena’s resilience and complexity as she navigated betrayal, revenge, and the burdens of power in The Vine Witch, you’ll love the Owens sisters in Practical Magic. Hoffman crafts a story about generations of strong women facing love, loss, and the consequences of their magic, blending heartfelt emotion with enchantment and a hint of danger.

... romantic tension woven through magical intrigue?

A Discovery Of Witches by Deborah Harkness

If the slow-burn romance threaded through Elena’s magical trials in The Vine Witch drew you in, A Discovery of Witches offers a similarly intoxicating blend. The chemistry between Diana, a reluctant witch, and Matthew, a centuries-old vampire, is as compelling as the magical mysteries they unravel together, set against a backdrop of ancient secrets and forbidden love.
