No official sequels exist, which is a shame because the characters in 'The Violet and the Tom' are so compelling. But if you're into the historical fantasy angle, you might want to try Guy Gavriel Kay's works. 'The Lions of Al-Rassan' has that same bittersweet, beautifully written quality. Carey's 'Kushiel' series is obviously the go-to recommendation, but don't overlook 'Miranda and Caliban' by Jacqueline Carey—it's a quieter, more poetic take on 'The Tempest,' and it nails that same emotional depth.
The Violet and the Tom' is such a gem, isn't it? That mix of historical intrigue and slow-burn romance really stuck with me. From what I've gathered, there isn't a direct sequel, but the author, Jacqueline Carey, has written other works in similar veins that might scratch that itch. 'Kushiel's Dart' is her most famous series, and while it's not connected, it shares that lush, detailed world-building and complex character dynamics. I remember finishing 'The Violet and the Tom' and immediately diving into her other books because I craved more of that style.
If you're looking for something with a comparable vibe, you might enjoy 'Swordspoint' by Ellen Kushner—another fantasy of manners with sharp wit and political maneuvering. It's part of a series too, so there's more to explore if you get hooked. Honestly, sometimes the lack of a sequel makes a story feel more special, like a single perfect snapshot.
Not that I've found, but I'd kill for one. In the meantime, 'A Taste of Honey' by Kai Ashante Wilson has a similar vibe—short, lush, and emotionally devastating. Or if you want more Carey, 'Banewreaker' is a darker, epic fantasy twist on her usual themes.
I wish there were sequels! 'The Violet and the Tom' feels like it leaves room for more, but as far as I know, it's a standalone. That said, Jacqueline Carey's other works have a similar flavor—rich prose and morally gray characters. 'Santa Olivia' is a personal favorite, though it's more sci-fi than fantasy. If you loved the relationship dynamics in 'The Violet and the Tom,' you might also check out 'captive prince' by C.S. Pacat. It's got that same tension and political intrigue, just turned up to Eleven.

The buzz around 'Violet Made of Thorns' has been wild since it dropped, and I totally get why! Right now, there isn't an official sequel announced, but the way the book ends leaves SO much room for more. The protagonist’s journey feels like it’s just getting started, especially with all those unresolved tensions and the rich, thorny world-building. I’ve been stalking the author’s socials for hints—nothing concrete yet, but fans are practically begging for a continuation. Fingers crossed we get news soon because that cliffhanger? Brutal.
In the meantime, if you’re craving something with a similar vibe, 'The Cruel Prince' or 'Shadow and Bone' might scratch that itch. Both have that mix of political intrigue and dark fantasy that made 'Violet' so addictive. Honestly, I’d love to see the author expand this universe—maybe even a prequel about the court’s history? The lore feels deep enough for it.
The world of 'Violet Black' left such a vivid impression on me with its blend of eerie sci-fi and emotional depth. From what I've gathered through fan forums and creator interviews, there hasn't been an official sequel announced yet. The ending left room for interpretation, though—some fans speculate about hidden clues in the epilogue, while others argue it’s better as a standalone. The author’s social media occasionally drops cryptic hints, but nothing concrete. Personally, I’d love a continuation exploring Violet’s unresolved past or the broader implications of the Black project. Until then, I’ve been filling the void with fan theories and similar reads like 'Annihilation' or 'The Girl with All the Gifts.'
That said, the ambiguity kinda works in its favor—sometimes mysteries are more compelling when left unsolved. Maybe the silence is intentional, letting us marinate in that haunting finale.
Violets Are Blue' is actually part of James Patterson's Alex Cross series, and while it doesn't have a direct sequel, the series itself continues with many more books that follow the same protagonist. After this one, 'Four Blind Mice' picks up with Alex Cross's story, diving deeper into his personal and professional life. The series is known for its fast-paced thrillers, and each book builds on the last in terms of character development and overarching plotlines.
If you enjoyed 'Violets Are Blue,' you’ll probably love the rest of the series. Patterson has a way of keeping things fresh, even though the core cast remains the same. I’d recommend checking out 'Cross' or 'Double Cross' next—they’re some of my favorites in the series. The way Patterson weaves suspense and emotional depth always leaves me wanting more.
