If you were drawn to Briony’s fraught inner monologue and the haunting way Chime unravels her guilt and self-doubt, you’ll find Claire Legrand’s The Radiant Midnight equally gripping. The protagonist’s tangled emotions and unreliable self-perception create a tense, immersive experience, blurring the lines between reality and imagination in a way that will keep you questioning what’s true.

If you found Briony’s perspective in Chime fascinating—never quite sure what’s real or imagined—The Bone Gap offers a similarly intriguing narrative. Finn’s unique way of seeing the world and the novel’s dreamy, surreal ambiguity will appeal to readers who enjoy piecing together truth from fractured, unreliable accounts.

If you loved the moody marshes and folklore-tinged setting of Chime, you’ll be swept away by the windswept island and dangerous water horses in The Scorpio Races. Stiefvater weaves myth and landscape into a lush, haunting world that feels alive with secrets and old magic.

If Briony’s self-loathing and her struggle to believe in her own goodness resonated with you in Chime, you’ll appreciate the characters in Bone Gap, where everyone has secrets and no one fits neatly into ‘good’ or ‘bad’ boxes. The characters’ ambiguities and mistakes make their journeys moving and authentic.

If you were enchanted by the lush, musical language of Chime, you’ll adore The Goose Girl. Shannon Hale’s writing is gorgeously crafted, full of rich metaphors and a dreamy, fairy-tale cadence that brings every moment to life.
