Divergent
question
Aside from Divergent, What is your favorite Dystopian Series?

I really liked the Divergent trilogy. Help me find the next Dystopian series to read!
The Uglies Series, Legend Trilogy, The Delirium Trilogy, The ruby red trilogy, The selection series, Princess Academy Series, Shatter me :), The fault in our stars (even though it's not dystopian it's worth it), The infernal devices trilogy, The 5th wave, The daughter of Smoke and Bone series and The chemical garden series


these two books are completely different in writing, narrative, and settingg aspects but they are both mindblowingly beautiful and just. great.

The Hunger Games Series, definitely. So original, unlike anything I've ever read.
The Hunger Games Trilogy & The Selection Trilogy/Series :)
I'm still going to try to read more dystopian books.

The Giver
I want to read the Maze Runner! I read the Hunger Games, but it wasn't my favorite. I read the Matched Trilogy and it was OK

The Maze Runner was great! I thought it had a lot of character and kept you interested throughout its extent.
Divergent is NOT my favorite dystopian YA. Aside from Legend, it's probably my least favorite.
I loooove The Maze Runner (of course)
Incarceron (THIS IS AN AMAZING SERIES THAT NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT AND IT'S REALLY SAD)
And The Knife of Never Letting Go

The maze runner and the hunger games. Hated the ending of TMR but a great series

If you liked the Divergent trilogy, you should check this one out. Legend is amazing. Marie Lu created a wonderful (by wonderful I mean wonderful to read about, not be in) and two wonderful characters that clash in intense action sequences and even more intense romance bits. Strongly recommend it .

Dark Life by Kat Falls is also very, very good. It's very different from all other dystopians because it's about life underwater. I really liked it because of the concept and world-building, the plot and writing is a bit on the meh side.

Shatter Me has an interesting concept but the writing is so blatantly horrible that I couldn't even finish it. It is very confusing and lacks that thing that makes you wanna read more.

Gone was also interesting in theory. It was very boring to read and one of the main characters (the protagonist's best friend, if I'm not mistaken) felt like a desperate attempt at being quirky and funny, and it failed miserably.

If you're interested in the Fairy tale spin-off kind of books, The Lunar Chronicles (Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, Winter) are based off of fairy tale princesses, but in a dystopian future. I haven't got around to those yet, but I've heard they are good.
Hope this helped.
Ally Condie wrote a dystopian trilogy (Matched, Crossed & Reached) I really enjoyed it.
The Hungergames are definitely a very exciting trilogy.
I am going to read Gemma Malley's trilogy. When I was a kiddo I did not know the word "Dystopia" or that it Gemma actually wrote two more books. The book is named "The Declaration" for those who are interested :)

The Unwind series is amazing. It's about a future where unwanted teenagers get "unwound"-cut into pieces so their organs can be used as transplants.
I don't know if the Chaos Walking (The Knife of Never Letting Go) trilogy counts as dystopian, but it's really good. It's about people colonizing a new planet where everyone can hear each other's thoughts, but the leaders are corrupt and they need to overthrow them.
I also love the Lunar Chronicles (Cinder, Scarlet, Cress).
Delirium, Matched, and Legend are good stories if you like romance, though the world-building isn't that great.

I agree with Annika, #Josh, and Swati on good books. I would also suggest the novel Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige and The Giver by Louis Lowry. Both of these books stand as novels on their own but do have sequels (or prequel in Dorothy Must Die's case)that take place in the same time with different characters.
The Giver quartet, through and through. I love those books so much, they're almost magical. I feel like I would be super repetitive by saying the Hunger Games, but it really is an awesome series and worth all the the hype it gets!
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Legend by Marie Lu.
I've only read The Hunger Games trilogy, but I've heard really good this about Delirium, Shatter Me, Legend and The Lunar Chronicles. I'm really looking forward to read more dystopian books
Just basing this off of my physical bookshelf, there's Legend, The Darkest Minds, The 5th Wave, Cinder, The Young World (which I don't recommend but I kind of have to mention it because I won it on a giveaway), The Maze Runner (which isn't too great), Dark Life, All Our Yesterdays, The Bar Code Tattoo (which is a complete and utter mess of a book), The City of Ember, Uglies, How I Live Now, etc.
Then there are books I haven't read that might be dystopian, I'm not sure. The Compound, The War of the Worlds, After the End, Not a Drop to Drink.
And I shouldn't even have to mention The Hunger Games or The Giver.
