Books like Wolf Brother and Gods & Warriors

Ask Michelle Anything
Maryam Writes…

Hey! It's me again. I talked to you awhile ago asking for book recommendations that were like wolf brother and you recommended gods and warriors LIKE OMG ITS SO GOOD, but I was wondering if you could recommend me more books like that? I know it's too much to ask for but… Yeah. I've ordered the witching hour your new book, but when I finish it I'll get the books you recommend.
you're literally my idol tho❤️

Michelle Replies…

Hello, Maryam.  Thanks for both your messages – and I’m so glad that you enjoyed my Gods and Warriors as well as the Wolf Brother books!  I’m afraid I can’t think of similar books to recommend.  There may be many which you’d like, but I don’t really keep up with what’s being written, as I’m too busy writing my own stories.  Maybe you could take a look on some of the good book websites such as Goodreads, and see if they (or Amazon and the like) can recommend similar books to mine?  That might produce a few leads to follow.  Sorry I can’t be of more help, and the best of luck with your search… With best wishes, Michelle
