If the way Juliette and Roma navigate the Scarlet–White Flowers power struggle—balancing family loyalty, foreign influence in the French and International Settlements, and back‑room deals—had you hooked, Jade City will hit the same nerve. The Kaul and Ayt clans fight for control of Janloon with council votes, assassinations, and uneasy truces that echo the nightclub stand‑offs and street ambushes in These Violent Delights. You’ll get the same knife’s‑edge negotiations and family duty versus personal desire, just with magical jade raising the stakes.

Loved watching Juliette and Roma—heirs to crime syndicates—cut deals, spy, and bend rules while trying to stop the madness spreading from the Huangpu? In Six of Crows, Kaz Brekker’s crew of young criminals pulls an impossible heist through gang turf and corrupt authorities that feel as perilous as a truce meeting between the Scarlets and White Flowers. Like Benedikt and Marshall’s shadowy errands and Kathleen’s undercover work, every character here uses questionable methods for a cause that might just be worth it.

If 1920s Shanghai’s layered world—from blood-soaked alleyways to glittering ballrooms under colonial pressure—captivated you, The City of Brass offers a city just as textured. Where These Violent Delights maps the French Concession, Communist rallies, and gang territories, Daevabad teems with sects, histories, and laws that collide as fiercely as the Scarlets and White Flowers. You’ll appreciate the same sense of place and fraught alliances that made Juliette and Roma’s hunt for the river monster and its plague feel so real.

If your heart was in your throat every time Juliette and Roma had to team up—trading barbs and trust while bodies fell to the insect-borne madness—then The Wrath and the Dawn delivers that same combustible chemistry. Shahrzad marries the boy-king she plans to kill, and their sharp, secret-laden courtship echoes the balcony confessions and tense alliances that kept the heirs of the Scarlets and White Flowers circling each other amid danger.

Drawn to the bleak intensity of These Violent Delights—the plague victims tearing at their own throats, the monster lurking in the river, and the way political unrest turns Shanghai’s streets lethal? The Poppy War plunges you into an even darker spiral of war crimes, vengeance, and hard choices. Like Juliette weighing family, city, and conscience while riots spark, Rin faces costs that grow more harrowing with every victory.
