As far as I know, Darcie Little Badger has not announced a direct sequel or spin-off to 'A Snake Falls to Earth'. It seems to be a standalone for now. If you're in the mood for another story that blends mythic creatures with deeply personal, character-driven narratives, you might check out 'Serpentine Desires'. It follows an exiled river spirit navigating human cities and corporate intrigue, with a really compelling focus on found family and the cost of maintaining a secret identity in a modern world.
I see 'A Snake Falls to Earth' as a standalone masterpiece, but its worldbuilding begs for continuation. The dual narratives—Oli’s shapeshifting journey and Nina’s Earth-bound struggles—create two rich settings that could easily spawn spin-offs. The Reflecting World especially fascinates me; its rules about animal spirits and transformations could fill an entire series.
Darcie Little Badger’s style leans toward self-contained stories, though. 'Elatsoe' shares thematic DNA but isn’t a direct tie-in. If you crave more indigenous futurism, Rebecca Roanhorse’s 'Trail of Lightning' offers monster-slaying in a post-apocalyptic Dinétah. For now, the absence of a sequel makes 'A Snake Falls to Earth' feel more special—a complete gem rather than a franchise starter.
I just finished reading 'A Snake Falls to Earth' and went digging for more—no official sequel exists yet, but the ending leaves room for one. The author Darcie Little Badger hasn’t announced any plans, but fans are buzzing about potential spin-offs focusing on Oli’s adventures in the spirit world or Nina’s human family uncovering more hidden magic. The book’s blend of Lipan Apache lore and climate fiction feels ripe for expansion. If you loved it, try 'Elatsoe' by the same author—similar vibes with ghost dogs and ancestral secrets. Until a sequel drops, fan theories are keeping the hype alive.
Let’s be real: this book deserves a sequel, but it’s not happening yet. I stalked Darcie Little Badger’s socials—zero hints about continuing Oli and Nina’s story. That said, the ending’s open enough for fanfic writers to go wild. Imagine a spin-off where Nina’s grandma teaches her more Lipan Apache magic, or Oli battles corporate polluters in the Reflecting World.
While waiting, dive into 'Moonshot: The Indigenous Comics Collection' for more native-led fantasy. Or check out 'Feed' by Mira Grant—totally different genre (zombie apocalypse journalism), but it nails that mix of personal stakes and global crisis like 'A Snake Falls to Earth' does.

The Kumiho my father chose for me hated me. He hated that he was my pet.
When I turned eighteen, I decided to give him his freedom.
However, it turned out that he was in love with one of our servants’ daughters, Rachel Lenford.
I was crushed, but I could only accept it.
I woke up from a good dream to find a silver-ringed giant python coiled around my body. It hissed at me while flicking its forked tongue.
"Why do you like him so much? How about trying me out? I'm better than he is."
Trying this snake out? How would that work?
On the first day of our marriage, Abyron, the Snake King, and I formed an empathic bond. It was thus impossible for me to doubt his love for me.
However, on the seventh day, he slept with two rabbit girls. I collapsed completely. It felt worse than death.
He sighed and said, “Yoelle, snakes are naturally lustful. It’s not that I don’t love you. You simply can’t satisfy me. You may deal with the women around me however you wish, but I won’t divorce you.”
At first, I killed the women he favored out of jealousy. Later, I stopped caring at all.
Then he dismissed his entire harem for a human woman named Xena Lane. That was when I asked for a divorce.
It was not because of jealousy. It was because my little lover was demanding his place.
My mother brings home a woman named Julia Hayden from the back of the hill and makes her my sister-in-law.
Our family is poor. As Julia is beautiful, my mother forces her to work as a prostitute in secret to earn money for the family.
But a villager, Lara Clay, says Julia is not human.
When my brother sleeps with her, I peek inside through a crack in the door. In the dim yellow light, I see the shadow of a huge snake tightly coiling itself around my brother's body on the wall...
I was a descendant of Echidna, while Jonathan was the Capital City's most faithful Crystal Emperor devotee.
In my past life, I eloped for love. For love, I threw away my chance to awaken my bloodline, shed my scales, and ascend to godhood.
But…
On the day of our marriage, Jonathan cut out my heart.
He said I was cursed, that I was in the way of his true love's salvation. He wanted to use my Blood of Essence to pave the way for his true love's return to life.
In despair, I could only watch as he held the prayer beads in his hand. His words were calm and deadly cruel.
"Sinead, you should feel blessed to become Anna's sacrifice."
When I opened my eyes again, time had mysteriously wound back. I had returned to one week before my wedding.
I prayed in the rundown temple, my hand over my aching heart.
The booming voice of my deity suddenly filled my ears, answering my desperate plea.
"Descendant of Echidna, will you shed your scales and return to an ordinary life? Or will you give up love and achieve apotheosis?"
