In Harrow The Ninth, did you enjoy ...

... unreliable narration and fractured perception of reality?

The Traitor Baru Cormorant by Seth Dickinson

If you loved being immersed in Harrow's unreliable point of view—where memory, identity, and reality are constantly shifting—The Traitor Baru Cormorant will hook you with its protagonist's calculating mind and her shifting loyalties. Baru's internal narrative twists your expectations, and the truth is often obscured by her own self-deceptions.

... multi-layered, puzzle-box plots that gradually reveal their secrets?

The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins

If you were fascinated by the intricate, layered mysteries and shifting realities in Harrow the Ninth, The Library at Mount Char offers a similarly complex narrative. You'll puzzle over the cryptic backstories of Carolyn and her siblings as the true nature of their world is slowly unveiled, keeping you guessing until the very end.

... psychological depth and trauma explored through speculative fiction?

The Deep by Rivers Solomon

If Harrow's tangled psyche and struggle with trauma spoke to you, The Deep will resonate. It follows Yetu, a mermaid who carries the collective memory of her people, delving deeply into the burdens of memory, identity, and healing, all within a lush, otherworldly setting.

... non-linear storytelling and fragmented timelines?

The Quantum Thief by Hannu Rajaniemi

If you enjoyed the non-linear, mind-bending narrative structure of Harrow the Ninth—where timelines and realities blur—The Quantum Thief will captivate you with its fractured chronology and clever reveals. Jean le Flambeur’s story is a puzzle box that rewards attentive readers with every twist.

... dark humor and mordant wit amidst gothic horror?

Gideon The Ninth by Tamsyn Muir

If you reveled in the razor-sharp, darkly comic banter and bleakly funny tone of Harrow the Ninth, you'll love the gallows humor and irreverent voice that permeate Gideon the Ninth. Gideon's sarcasm and the book's deadpan wit provide levity even as things get gruesome.
