I read all 3 books. Are there any spinoffs, or other books like this that you guys could recommend me?

Chelsea No spin-offs sadly. I loved the Midnighters series by Westerfeld as well and feel like it has similar writing and great pacing even though the setting…moreNo spin-offs sadly. I loved the Midnighters series by Westerfeld as well and feel like it has similar writing and great pacing even though the setting and magic are very different.

I also have a few steampunk recommendations you might enjoy:

Airborn by Kenneth Oppel and its sequels are a great series you might enjoy too. They are adventures following a cabin boy in an airship-- sort of a "treasure island" variation on this theme.

Arabella of Mars is another interesting steampunk adventure-- this time with airships that fly between Earth and a very different Mars

If you enjoyed the romantic aspects of this series and want a steampunk series that is heavier on that, Gail Carriger's steampunk world has several series set in it that have a lot of the fun, fantastical elements of this world, with a more Victorian vibe. Her "Finishing School" series is probably the one I enjoyed most and where I'd start.(less)

Basically, this means that there are elements which are fictional and elements which are true. It is set it the summer of 1914 and it includes historical elements such as the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and his wife and the spread of World War One. The darwinists and clankers are made up, but Charles Darwin really did exist.(less)
