I am looking for some good books similiar to The Lorien Legacies or The KingKiller Chronicle.
Wow, those aren't really similar at all. Maybe the Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta or Game of Thrones?
I haven't read it, but my friends that read and liked I Am Number Four are always quick to recommend Graceling right afterwards.
Hmmm... That's a tough one. Similar in what way?
If you're talking superpower type stuff, then I have to say
The "Jumper" books by Steven Gould. Way different than the movie.
Michael Vey: The Prisoner Of Cell 25 by Richard Paul Evans is also a good one.
If you're talking Young Adult Fantasy, then I'd say
"Chosen" by Ted Dekker.
If you're talking just great Young Adult, then I'd say
"The Last Thing I Remember" by Andrew Klavan. This is one of the greatest books that I've ever read, and I've yet to find anyone who didn't like it. It hooks you on the very first page.
"Shelter" by Harlan Coben is another good one.
"Crazy Dangerous" by Andrew Klavan.
"The Maze Runner" by James Dashner. Very suspenseful.
"IF We Survive" by Andrew Klavan.

I've been recommended Matched series by Ally Condie.
Or you should try the Inheritance series by Christopher Paolini their really long but good.

some good books tht i liked were genesis alpha, Shelter and the second book, unwind and the second unwholly, undentified it was slow but it got a little better at the end, witch and wizard, divergent
Hmm, a difficult question. The originality of these books is what makes them so amazing. However, I do have some suggestions which resemble one or two of our favourite elements of this series.
1) Endgame trilogy. One of the three Pittacus Lore authors James Frey has written sone of his own books. As you read, you can see how certain aspects are similar to the Lorien legacies books. And embedded within the novel is a real life puzzle for readers to figure out.
2) a wrinkle in time trilogy. I don’t know why this reminds me of Lorien Legacies. It just does.
3) dust lands trilogy. I suppose there are only three reasons as to why this can be classified as similar to Lorien legacies, but they’re important reasons. The first book involves the main character, Saba, having to cross a sand sea and escape dangerous clutches in a post-apocalyptic wasteland in order to save her kidnapped brother Lugh. Along the way she discovers new allies and assemble a rebel team. This reminds me of the Garde running across the earth searching for one another. As Saba as a character develops, we see how she grows to be the only person strong enough to achieve their goal. This is a bit like John becoming Pittacus. Many other characters deny she will be the hero just like they do with John. Only difference is that after she isn’t viewed as supreme like John, she still lives consumed in guilt, a lack of self esteem, and some of her closest allies despising her. The final reason is that in the third book her relationship with the antagonist is similar to that of Ella and Ra. ((Spoiler:) only difference is that the antagonist wants to marry Saba whereas Ra merely keeps Ella cold as she is his great-granddaughter.) He will keep her alive and deliver her luxury while he is happy to destroy her friends and rule by her in his vision of a “perfect world”.
4) the thirteen secrets. Warning: this is probably aimed for readers a year or two younger than LL readers. But if you don’t mind that then this may be for you. The thirteen secrets is the third book in a trilogy, however I read this before the first two books (completely unaware that there were other books). It makes the first few chapters confusing (and spoils the other two books a bit) but if you can get parts that the this book is basically the fantasy version of Lorien Legacies. However, instead of people being killed in order they are being killed in certain ways. Hope this was helpful!

For me, The prisoner in cell 25 by richard paul evans is the closest book related to Lorien Legacies. They both have strong (and hot) protagonists. I was obsessed to this book i assure you ull never regret reading this
Well I liked the Lorien Legacies also and the closest thing I can think to that is City of Bones, action with some love along with fantasy.And if you like both of those, I love Divergent. Different kind of story than those but similar in a way. Or maybe Eragon if you like longer stuff..... :)
