In Thief Of Time, did you enjoy ...

... the sharp, irreverent humor and playful satire?

Good Omens by Neil Gaiman & Terry Pratchett

If you loved the witty banter and clever comic twists in Thief of Time—like Death’s literal-mindedness or the Auditors’ bureaucratic absurdity—then Good Omens will tickle your funny bone. The unlikely duo of an angel and a demon bumble through the apocalypse with tongue firmly in cheek, offering the same brand of sly, satirical humor that made you laugh out loud.

... the mind-bending exploration of time and its consequences?

The First Fifteen Lives Of Harry August by Claire North

If you were fascinated by the monks' attempts to build the perfect clock and the cosmic stakes of time in Thief of Time, you’ll be enthralled by The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August. It’s a gripping story about a man who relives his life over and over, uncovering secret societies and existential mysteries in the very fabric of time itself.

... the delightful ensemble cast of quirky, memorable characters?

The Long Way To A Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

If you enjoyed the quirky mix of characters—like Susan Sto Helit, Lobsang, and Lu-Tze—cooperating (or colliding) in Thief of Time, you’ll adore the warm-hearted crew of The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet. Each member brings their own eccentricities and secrets, making for a heartfelt, character-driven adventure across the cosmos.

... the richly detailed, inventive worldbuilding that reimagines reality?

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman

If you were captivated by the Discworld’s inventive take on time, monks, and cosmic bureaucracy, Neverwhere offers another brilliantly reimagined world—hidden beneath London, full of strange rules, magical denizens, and unexpected dangers. You’ll love exploring the depths of its vivid setting just as much as you enjoyed Discworld’s unique spin on reality.

... the blend of non-linear narrative and thought-provoking twists?

Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut

If you appreciated how Thief of Time jumps between timelines, perspectives, and cosmic events, Slaughterhouse-Five will intrigue you. Billy Pilgrim’s story unfolds in a nonlinear fashion, moving through time and reality with unexpected shifts—blurring the lines between comedy, tragedy, and science fiction.
