In Invictus, did you enjoy ...

... the rule-bending, black‑market time heists with a tightknit crew?

The Girl from Everywhere by Heidi Heilig

If it was the way Farway, Priya, Imogen, and Gram pull off illicit extractions aboard the Invictus that hooked you—right down to the banter and the heist complications Eliot forces on them—then you’ll love how Nix sails a map‑jumping ship with a loyal crew, snatching treasures from 19th‑century ports and mythic maps. The Girl from Everywhere blends time‑slipping jobs, found‑family dynamics, and a romance that tests the mission the same way Farway and Priya’s bond does when the timeline frays.

... the snarky, ride‑or‑die heist crew dynamics?

Six Of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

Miss the crackling crew chemistry of Farway’s team—the unflappable medic vibe of Priya, Imogen’s artsy quips, Gram’s dry precision, and all that rule‑skirting? Six of Crows gives you Kaz, Inej, Jesper, and company pulling an impossible score where trust is a weapon and loyalty is always tested. The morally gray choices and razor‑edged banter mirror the Invictus crew’s camaraderie when the job goes sideways.

... the breathless pace, banter, and disaster‑dodging in space?

Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff

If you tore through Invictus for its all‑gas‑no‑brakes momentum—crisis jumps, split‑second calls, and wisecracks even as the timeline unravels—Illuminae will hit the same vein. Kady and Ezra are scrambling through corporate slaughter, rogue AI manipulations, and cascading catastrophes with the same scrappy ingenuity Farway’s crew shows when Eliot upends their mission and the stakes skyrocket.

... ethically flexible thieves pulling impossible jobs with heart?

The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch

Loved that Farway runs a crew of charming rogues who steal from history’s edges—and aren’t afraid to bend the rules when Eliot forces hard choices? Locke and Jean’s Gentleman Bastards are cut from the same cloth: elaborate cons, razor wit, and loyalty that gets tested when bigger sharks circle. The thrill of seeing clever plans collide with unseen powers echoes the Invictus crew’s line‑blurring capers.

... the head‑spinning causality twists and timeline stakes?

Recursion by Blake Crouch

If Eliot’s revelations and the unraveling timeline in Invictus were your favorite gut‑punches, Recursion doubles down on cause‑and‑effect whiplash. As Barry Sutton and Helena navigate a technology that rewrites memories and reality, the cascading resets and shocking reveals echo Farway’s desperate attempts to patch paradoxes before everything collapses.
