If you loved the immersive, bustling cityscapes and rich, folkloric atmosphere of Throne of the Crescent Moon, you'll be swept away by The Golem and the Jinni. Set in turn-of-the-century New York but deeply rooted in Middle Eastern and Jewish folklore, the book introduces you to Chava, a golem, and Ahmad, a jinni, as they navigate immigrant communities and ancient magic. Wecker's attention to cultural detail and mythological depth makes her world as vivid and enchanting as Saladin Ahmed's Dhamsawaat.

If you enjoyed following Doctor Adoulla Makhslood alongside his mismatched band of companions, you'll find much to love in The Lies of Locke Lamora. Scott Lynch's tale centers on Locke and his fellow Gentlemen Bastards, whose camaraderie and banter drive a fast-paced plot filled with schemes, double-crosses, and heists. The group dynamic and focus on teamwork will feel right at home for fans of Ahmed's ensemble storytelling.

If the moral ambiguity and tough choices made by characters like Adoulla and Zamia in Throne of the Crescent Moon resonated with you, City of Stairs is a must-read. Shara Thivani, the investigator at the heart of Bennett's novel, grapples with loyalty, faith, and the consequences of empire in a city shaped by forbidden gods. The book’s protagonists are layered, flawed, and must often choose between competing evils—making for a deeply engaging, morally intricate fantasy.

If the clear mission against supernatural threats and fast-moving investigation in Throne of the Crescent Moon kept you glued to the page, The Black Prism will deliver the same energy. Gavin Guile, the most powerful person in the world, embarks on a quest to thwart a rising rebellion, protect his secrets, and save his realm. Every chapter is propelled by urgent objectives, strategic challenges, and a palpable sense of danger.

If you loved the way Throne of the Crescent Moon draws inspiration from Arabian Nights and regional folklore, The Bone Ships offers a similarly mythic flavor—this time on the high seas. The novel follows a crew of condemned outcasts tasked with hunting a legendary sea dragon, blending nautical adventure with the ritual, legend, and superstition of a fully realized maritime culture. It’s a fresh take on myth-inspired fantasy with the same sense of ancient stories come to life.
