If following Victor’s cold-blooded vendetta against Eli—complete with meticulous planning, a prison break, and weaponizing allies like Mitch and Sydney—had you riveted, you’ll be hooked by Jorg Ancrath in Prince of Thorns. Jorg pursues revenge with Victor’s same chilling clarity, reshaping the world through sheer will and terrifying resolve. Where Victor edges the line between villain and antihero, Jorg leaps over it, offering that same intimate, voice-driven descent into ambition and brutality.

If you loved how Victor, Mitch, and Sydney form a prickly, purpose-built crew—each with secrets, skills, and flexible ethics to counter Eli and Serena—Six of Crows delivers that dynamic in spades. Kaz Brekker’s gang runs heists with the same razor-edged pragmatism Victor brings to hunting EOs, and the shifting loyalties and calculated risks echo the tense alliances around Sydney’s necromancy and Serena’s deadly persuasion.

If the back-and-forth between Victor and Eli’s college experiments and their present-day cat-and-mouse kept you turning pages, The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August uses an equally deft non-linear structure to escalate a cerebral rivalry. As Harry relives lives and uncovers a genius antagonist reshaping the future, the narrative parcels out revelations with the same satisfying, mounting dread you felt watching the EO origin scenes click into Victor’s present hunt.

If Victor and Eli’s near-death EO experiments—and the fallout of abilities like Sydney’s resurrection and Serena’s coercion—grabbed you for how they test the ethics of power, Soon I Will Be Invincible puts you inside the mind of a supervillain genius and the heroes who oppose him. It interrogates responsibility, control, and collateral damage with the same bite as Victor deciding which lines to cross to stop Eli’s crusade against EOs.

If the knife-sharp mood of Vicious—Eli’s zealotry, Serena’s elegant menace, Victor’s deadpan humor amid ugly deeds—hit the spot, The Blade Itself offers a similarly dark, violent atmosphere leavened by caustic banter. Its broken fighters and manipulators maneuver through grim choices with the same gritty realism and gallows wit that colored Victor’s pursuit and the uneasy shelter he offers Sydney.
