Graceling question

The Hunger games

Fire, touted as a prequel, I actually did not like as well as Graceling or think it had the same feel. Something that drew me in as quickly were the several series of books about Fitz (a guy, not a girl, but still a character to get into) starting with

and the two books about Menolly ; and and entire series by author Dawn Cook starting with and another with (Ms. Cook's less intense, lighter reads than Graceling but as engrossing)

, is also by Graceling author, set in that world, due out in May 2012, available for pre-order, and I have preordered but have no clue about it. Graceling is a 5-star read for me and Fire was disappointing to say the least.

Try the Eon/Eona books by Allison Goodman or the Bartimeaus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud.

Books I would recommend are as Melissa said earlier the Abhorsen series and The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley, fabulous books. Also possibly try the Tamora Peirce quartets Song of the Lioness, and Immortals. Both are my favorites of her many quartets.

I read the bookA Great and Terrible Beauty which I loved!!!!! I actually met the author and she was very fun to talk to. It's such a great series! Check it out!

I second the recommendation for The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson. Also try the Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima (book #1 is The Demon King). These keep in line with the fantasy atmosphere vs. the dystopian Hunger Games & Divergent.

I got a similar with Maria V. Snyder's Glass series, tho I would highly suggest starting with her Study series, as it both predates and I fell outshines her later glass books.

Erm...I think you WILL be disappointed with the Hush Hush series, that's more a book to suggest to a Twilight fan.

The Hunger Games is a very well written series though that follows this well despite being a dystopic thriller instead of fantasy.

If you're looking for another high fantasy story though I would say Eragon isn't bad though it IS extremely long-winded.

I enjoyed Finnikin & the rock - sequel Froi of the exiles.
Rae Carson and Malinda Lo Huntress

Although not entirely similar, I would recommend the Abhorsen Trilogy by Garth Nix. The main characters both struggle with controlling the dark powers they have been endowed with, all in order to bring a sort of equilibrium to the worlds in which they live. If you end up checking out this series, Sabriel is the first book in the series. I highly recommend them!

Have you read Lord of the Rings or Vaalbara: Visions and Shadows? They have the same adventure, natural and fantasy setting.

Bitterblue will be available on May 1st 2012. I have been anxiously awaiting this book as I loved Graceling and Fire.

oh read the Vampire Academy, Hush hush series, and the Night world series oh and the hunger game!!! you'll not be dissapointed by any of these series!

hmmm..do supposibly there is suppose to be another book called Bitterblue..but idk when it comes out

have your read its prequel?

also a really great series is A Song of Ice and Fire.

A Game of Thrones is the first one.
You could also try Brightly Woven by Alexandra Bracken

idk if its all that similar but i really liked Divergent. :D Its one of my faves.

And this book is totally a diff genre. But its my absolute fave. Its The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Have you read any Tamora Pierce? Start out with Alanna, the first adventure. I also LOVE -- the Blue Sword by Robin McKinley (think this was mentioned in a previous comment). Also, a new sword and sorcery urban fantasy is My Boyfriend Merlin
Alanna: The First Adventure
The Blue Sword
My Boyfriend Merlin
