Suggestions of YA dystopian books

Post by Jesscar6 »

I enjoy YA dystopian books. I've read quite a few, but am wondering if anyone has any suggestions I could try.
Post-apocalyptic I like too so any recommendations would be good :)

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness is my favourite series.
They are also currently making a movie out of it - so if you enjoy movie adaptations, get on this one!

If you like dystopian books, you'll probably enjoy Cinda Williams Chima. The Heir Chronicles involves the overthrow of a magical shadow society. The Seven Realms is set in a fantasy world but it also consists of changing the world as its been.

Try reading The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. It takes place in a society not far from ours, except 98% of the population of children have died from a mysterious disease. The remaining 2% develop powers, so the government forces them into camps. This one girl Ruby escapes and meets others along the way. It’s often compared to X-Men but I can assure you that there are fewer similarities than there may seem to be! Overall, it’s a fun read.

Awesome series, also being made into a movie. I think it's due to be released next month :D

I agree with the one person who suggested The Maze Runner series by James Dashner. I loved it.

Delirium trilogy by Lauren Oliver. Two kindred spirits find love in a world where love is a disease that needs to be cured and the infected need to be killed. I loved it. Surely you will too. give it a try.
