In Soon I Will Be Invincible, did you enjoy ...

... the clever humor and satire of superpowered tropes?

Redshirts by John Scalzi

If you loved the witty, tongue-in-cheek approach to superhero conventions that Soon I Will Be Invincible delivers—especially through Dr. Impossible's dry narration—then Redshirts will have you grinning. Scalzi lampoons the sci-fi genre with quick dialogue, clever meta-references, and a cast of characters who realize they're living in a narrative full of absurd rules. You'll enjoy the same playful, self-aware humor threaded throughout the story.

Vicious by V.E. Schwab

Did you find Dr. Impossible's blend of villainy and vulnerability compelling? In Vicious, Schwab gives you Victor and Eli—two former friends whose superpowers lead them into a dangerous rivalry, with both operating in shades of gray. The book explores ambition, revenge, and the questionable ethics behind power, capturing the same electric tension and moral ambiguity.

... an ensemble cast navigating a world of superheroes from the sidelines?

The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness

If you were drawn to the way Soon I Will Be Invincible juggles the perspectives of both heroes and villains, you'll enjoy how The Rest of Us Just Live Here follows ordinary teens trying to survive in a world filled with 'chosen ones.' With its focus on a diverse group of friends, each with their own struggles, Ness's novel delivers a fresh take on ensemble storytelling within a superpowered universe.

... goal-driven plots that mix conspiracies and superhuman intrigue?

The Rook by Daniel O’Malley

Myfanwy Thomas wakes up with no memory but discovers she is part of a secret government agency filled with people who have bizarre powers. Her quest to uncover who wants her dead propels the plot with relentless momentum and an inventive take on superhuman conspiracies.

... quirky, emotionally resonant superhero worlds with a standalone story?

All My Friends Are Superheroes by Andrew Kaufman

If you appreciated the standalone nature and offbeat take on superheroes in Soon I Will Be Invincible, All My Friends Are Superheroes offers a unique, heartfelt story about everyday superpowers and human connection. Kaufman's novella is touching, funny, and wonderfully inventive, delivering a complete and satisfying narrative in a single, memorable read.
