Both novels are written by the same author and both of the stories revolve around automated robots with self consciousness. The major difference will be that while humans are involved in most of the plots in Ame no Hi no Iris, they literally do not play any role in Koori no Kuni no Amaryllis. Q: Anymore similarities between these two novels? A: Both of them are masterpiece. Period.  

The premises are nearly identical. Although that's not where the similarities end, since both also have somewhat similar all-encompassing themes, Violent Evergarden has a more dark, whimsical tone.  

HakoMari and Ame no Hi no Iris are both dark, dramatic and gripping tales with well-crafted and engaging atmospheres. In spite of this, they are both ultimately forward-looking, though HakoMari is far sweeter (and perhaps even naive) in some sections than Ame no Hi no Iris. Similarly, they both toy with themes relating to repetition at some point, but use it to make different points. As well, if you liked HakoMari's drama, you'll like most of Ame no Hi no Iris's drama, because it's very similar (and written in first person). If you thought that HakoMari's drama was cheesy, however, Ame no Hi no Iris offers different blends of drama throughout. Because of this, Ame no Hi no Iris doesn't feel nearly as cheesy (though it does start to go down that road in the last quarter). Both are worth a read if you care for dark but ultimately optimistic narratives, though HakoMari will grip you from the first page while Ame no Hi no Iris takes a while longer to draw you in. read more 

Gekkou and Ame no Hi no Iris are both dark, dramatic and gripping tales with well-crafted and engaging atmospheres. In spite of this, they are both ultimately forward-looking, though Ame no Hi no Iris may have something more meaningful to say than Gekkou. They're both one-shots too, so they don't require much investment. Similarly, both one-shots have fluid writing with a lot of soul to them (at least in the translations). While reading Ame no Hi no Iris, I couldn't help but think that it had a similar 'feel' to Gekkou, though it's undoubtedly an improvement in terms of atmosphere. They're both worth a shot; standouts from the typical trend of light novels nowadays. read more
