Top 7 Young Adult Series/Trilogies

 Hello guys, today we decided to do something different. Our top 7 young adult series/trilogies! The list is composed of both Sara [▲] and I (An [✧]), so our favorites have been mixed together and put on this list. Hope you enjoy!
Question of the Blogpost: 'What is your favorite series/trilogy?'

7. The Testing trilogy by Joelle Charbonneau

▲ I was looking for a great YA dystopian novel, and after a long time, I found The Testing. The Testing is a really amazing trilogy and I read it when it came out. I had to wait so long for the other two books, but it was worth my time. I was completely in love with the trilogy and Cia (the main character) has become one of my favorite YA female characters. I recommend the Testing to everyone who loves a dystopian novel and is a fan of The Hunger Games or Divergent.

6. The Divergent trilogy by Veronica Roth

▲ It's been a while since I've read this trilogy so maybe I should reread it when I have time for it. I loved the first two books so much, especially Divergent. I remember that this book was my Christmas present.
The characters in this book were so incredible, I love them with all my heart. Like is said before, I loved the first two books, but I was a little bit disappointed of the last one, Allegiant. I liked it but I didn't love it. I think it's because I expected more of it. Besides that I recommend this trilogy to everyone who is, just like me, crazy about YA dystopia. 

5. Benedict series by Joss Stirling

✧ I love this series! I stumbled upon this when I was at the library looking for something to read for school. When I first started reading it, I did not know it was part of a series and it was in fact the third book. After reading Seeking Crystal, I was in desperate need of more so I went to the inter webs and found out that there were two more installments that take place before SC. Being the person I am, I could not wait another day to go to the store/order it, hence why I bought the e-books. I read Finding Sky and Stealing Phoenix in 2 days. I even stayed up until 4 AM once because I wanted to know what happened next! The plot intrigued me immensely! And as a person who’s a sucker for sappy romances, soulmates are definitely my type of guilty pleasures.
I have yet to read Misty Falls and the newest book that is coming out soon (I think).
This series has brought back my love for books that I lost the year before. Honestly, I love it so much and I was so obsessed with everything and everyone. Zed, Yves, Xavier, Sky, Phoenix and Crystal are very dear to my heart. They take up a special place and hopefully I'll read Misty Falls soon so that I can fangirl about those characters too.

4. The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins

✧ The Hunger Games trilogy ahh. The emotions are coming back. I remember crying, laughing and every emotion in between. I first read the Hunger Games in 2012, during the festive time of the year. I remember crying because of Rue's dead *sheds tear*. Anyways, everyone has probably already read this series. HECK, maybe you've even reread it a couple times so you all can share my love for this series (or not). And if you haven't read them, HOW?! I really recommend you to read them.
I adore the first two books, the Hunger Games and Catching Fire, but I didn't love Mockingjay as much. I love the empowering Katniss Everdeen, as I love all the other characters.
Yes, I love everything about this series and yes, you should too.

3. The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare

▲ How could the Mortal Instruments by the great Cassandra Clare not be on our list? I was really obsessed with these books. When I read the first one, I went to the store for the second one and then the third and so on. I went to the book store every 2 days until I was done reading the series. Unfortunately I had to wait for the last book like a year or maybe more, but when I went to the store to buy  the last one with one of my friends, who was also obsessed with The Mortal Instruments, we were freaking out. Like: OH MY GOD FINALLY! My friend even screamed.
If you haven't read this series yet, you should go to the book store and buy the 6 fantastic books. This is an order :p.

2. Touching Juliette trilogy by Tahereh Mafi

✧ I have just recently read this trilogy and I absolutely love it! After reading contemporary after contemporary I decided it was time for a dystopian novel. Sara actually recommended it to me and I was hesitant at first but damn! It is SO good. If you didn't like the first book, read the second! I assure you that it'll get better. I read them fairly quickly because it was one of those books that you just couldn't put down (in my opinion). Especially the last one *faints*.
The writing style was a bit strange at first and I had to get used to it. Some people might not like the writing style at all, but luckily I got to appreciate it.
Also, I was not expecting the plot at all! I thought that it might be about Juliette who is trying to find a cure or something, but it was definitely not.
I got easily attached to the characters, but mostly Juliette, Kenji and Warner.  

AND FINALLY. 

DRUM ROLL. 

1. The Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling

✧ Three words. Best series ever. I grew up with this series and I'm sure many of you did too. Anyone who's read this can confirm that The Harry Potter series are one of the greatest, if not the best, series of all time. The way J. K. Rowling brought us to a whole new world of wizards and magic is just amazing. She allowed us to escape of planet earth and reside in Hogwarts for the time being. My favorite 2 books of the series are 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix' and 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'. If you have not yet read this series or even watched the films) then what are you doing?! Go pick up the books at your local libraries, read them and love them just like millions of others in this world we live in, and then we can discuss them. Harry, Hermione and Ron will always have a special place in my heart. Especially as a Gryffindor.  

The Selection by Kiera Cass

The Selection by Kiera Cass

Published: April 24th 2012 by Harper Teen

Genres: Ya Dystopia Romance

Pages: 336

Goodreads

The selection is a dystopia romance written by Kiera Cass.

Summary: For thirty-five girls, the Selection is the chance of a lifetime. The opportunity to escape the life laid out for them since birth. To be swept up in a world of glittering gowns and priceless jewels. To live in a palace and compete for the heart of gorgeous Prince Maxon.

But for America Singer, being Selected is a nightmare. It means turning her back on her secret love with Aspen, who is a caste below her. Leaving her home to enter a fierce competition for a crown she doesn't want. Living in a palace that is constantly threatened by violent rebel attacks.

Then America meets Prince Maxon. Gradually, she starts to question all the plans she's made for herself—and realizes that the life she's always dreamed of may not compare to a future she never imagined.

The selection is a fun read. It's one of the books you can read in one day. The selection definitely made me smile a lot, although I was really irritated at the same time (mostly because of the love-triangle in this book). When I read the Selection, I thought a lot that this is just 'the Hunger Games' glossed over to a fairy-tale story, (a group of 35 girls competing for the heart of a guy is like 24 tributes who are fighting to death in an arena) but luckily it did not bothered me. Probably because I love 'the Hunger Games' and I like to read a similar story.

Characters: The main character is America Singer, one of the lucky girls who is selected for the selection. I loved and hated her, she's a nice and caring girl, but sometimes so so irritating. She hesitated like all the time. It looks like I say often that I love and hate the main character, but you have to know that that's not always the case. There are a lot of books where I don't found the main character irritating. Back to America. Well, I liked that she was a fighter. She wanted people to know (especially rich people) how it was to live in one of the lowest social classes, and how hard they had to work for a little wage. America stood up for herself and her family and that is why I love her. The other characters in this book were fine, especially prince Maxon. He is a little bit shy, which is cute, and I really liked him. But my favorite character in the whole series was Celeste, yes I know that's weird because she's like the bad guy in the series. I just really liked her.

I have read the whole trilogy and I found the first book the best one. I also liked the second one named: The Elite, although I was really irritated most of the time because America's behavior was really stupid in this book. The last book named: The One was better than the second one. There was also more action than in the other two books, which I really like.

I recommend 'The Selection' to people who are patient and like a dystopia romance.

All by all I give this book 3,5 stars.

The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau

                                                

The Testing by Joelle Charbonneau

Published June 4th by Houghton Mifflin Books for Children

Genres: Speculative Fiction, Dystopia, Young Adult

Pages: 336

Goodreads

Summary: 
“Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Isn’t that what they say? But how close is too close when they may be one and the same?”


The Seven Stages War left much of the planet a charred wasteland. The future belongs to the next generation’s chosen few who must rebuild it. But to enter this elite group, candidates must first pass The Testing—their one chance at a college education and a rewarding career.


Cia Vale is honored to be chosen as a Testing candidate; eager to prove her worthiness as a University student and future leader of the United Commonwealth. But on the eve of her departure, her father’s advice hints at a darker side to her upcoming studies--trust no one.


But surely she can trust Tomas, her handsome childhood friend who offers an alliance? Tomas, who seems to care more about her with the passing of every grueling (and deadly) day of the Testing. To survive, Cia must choose: love without truth or life without trust.


- The Hunger Games meets Divergent in this astringent novel. It's not that The Testing was a wannabe Hunger Games book, totally not. The Testing completely distinguishes itself from that. I loved/enjoyed reading The Testing, which is the first book of a great trilogy.


I can never get enough of this genre. I completely get lost in dystopian novels. Like I said before: I really love this genre, but they're most likely not all too good for my liking (maybe this is because dystopian is an incredibly difficult genre to write). But let me tell you this: The Testing is one of the good books. It's a book with a lot of action and of course a love story. How can their not be a love story? Luckily there wasn't a love triangle, because I hate love triangles. The Testing was actually a realistic story (except for the last test, but the plot of the story: being chosen as a Testing candidate to prove your worthiness as a University student is actually something that could happen.)


Characters: I normally find the main characters in dystopian novels, sometimes, annoying and bitchy. Thankfully that wasn't the case here. I loved the narrator, Cia. Cia is a kind and caring person, but she knows how to survive and takes care of herself. She never does something without thinking it through. Cia is not a girly character, probably because she grew up with four brothers. You see how she grew and became stronger during the story. And after every page I loved her more and more. Cia has absolutely become one of my favorite YA female characters. In the story you also get to know Tomas really well. Tomas is the main love interest and he grew up with her in Five Lakes Colony. They weren't really close when they were little, but they became very close after Cia told him about her father's warnings. I liked Tomas, he cared for Cia and made sure nothing happened to her, although he also has a dark side. (Everybody has, in this story.) I loved Joelle's characters. They were genuine and I got attached to them really quick. She has a wonderful writing style and I just love this trilogy.


The Testing is a book that you can not put down. So do not read it when you want to go to bed the next hour. If you're looking for a great and beautiful YA dystopian novel, look no further: The Testing awaits.


All by all I give this book 5 stars.

The Infernal Devices by Cassandra Clare

Before I read this trilogy, I have read The Mortal Instruments series. So I was already well-known with Cassandra's fantastic writing-style. Because of that, I really wanted to read the stunning prequel to the New York Times bestselling Mortal Instruments series.

I tried really hard to write a non-spoiler review, but I just couldn't do it. So if you haven't read the books yet, do NOT read the review of Clockwork Prince and Clockwork Princess.

Book one: Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
Published: August 31st 2010 by Simon & Schuster, Margaret K. McElderry
Genres: Ya, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Romance
Pages: 479
Goodreads




Clockwork Angel is a novel written by Cassandra Clare. It's about Tessa Gray who goes to London to live with her brother. But when she arrives she is captured by 'the Dark Sisters'. After a few weeks Tessa is finally rescued by the beautiful Shadowhunter William Herondale. She is taken to the London Institute, were she agrees to use her ability ( =shape-shifting) to help the Nephilim. In return they promised Tessa to help her search for her brother Nate. During her days at the Institute she befriends the two mysterious shadowhunters Will and Jem.

The first 50-100 pages of this book were a bit boring, but when I read further I was really into the story. As usual Cassandra wrote a beautiful trilogy.

Characters: 
There were a few characters that are also in TMI, for example Magnus Bane and Camille. I found it pleasant to read about characters that you already knew. I also enjoyed reading about the Lightwoods and Herondales. After reading this trilogy I really want/need to re-read TMI.

Tessa: What I really liked about Tessa is that sometimes she can be very stubborn and immensely curious. Tessa's love-story was very complicated. She loves Will and Jem at the same time. Normally I hate love triangles. I just really hate it! But in this story I kind of liked it... . I mean I wanted Tessa to end up with Will, but at the same time I thought that Tessa and Jem were really cute together. This is the first love triangle that I did not hate, although I was sometimes irritated. I'm just not a person who supports love triangles.

Will: I'm team Will all the way! He comes across as rude and arrogant, but I loved his quick wit and sarcasm. He often made me laugh out loud. And if a character can make me laugh out loud a lot, it means it's a great character! Will's character resembles a lot to Jace's and I loved Jace in the Mortal Instruments so how could I not love Will? Will pretends that he doesn't care about others (besides his Parabatai Jem) and he keeps everyone at arms-length. But I knew he did this with a reason...only...what is the reason?? (You'll find out in the second book.)

Jem: James is the opposite of his Parabatai Will. He is kind, calm and quiet. I love Jem, but not so much as I love Will. Jem cares a lot about others and he is so nice. Sometimes I found him too nice haha. Who would have thought that? Unfortunately, Jem is sick, when he was little and lived in the Shanghai Institute, the Greater Demon Yanluo killed his parents and tortured Jem by poisoning him with Yin Fen. Now he is addicted to the drug and there is no cure. Because of all of this, Jem would not have long to live.

Charlotte and Henry: I love this couple! They run the Institute together, but Henry actually doesn't help. Charlotte is kind and loving, but she's very capable of leading. Henry is an optimist, he likes to think positive at all times and he is always so cheerful, which I love about him. Henry is also an inventor.

Sophie: Sophie works at the Institute as the ladies' maid. She's kind, but often shy. Before she worked at the Institute, she worked as a parlor maid in a house in St. Johns Wood. The son of her employer, Teddy, tried to seduce her several times. Sophie turned him down. Teddy was so furious that he cut Sophie's face with a knife and he said that if he couldn't have her, nobody would want her. I feel sorry for Sophie, she's such a sweet girl and she did not deserve this. You see her grow out of her shell during the story. Every time she became stronger, I began to like her more and more.

Book Two: Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
Published: December 6th 2011 by Simon & Schuster Margaret K. McElderry
Genres: Ya, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Romance
Pages: 502
Goodreads



Clockwork prince is the second novel in the Infernal Devices trilogy. Tessa and her friends must find the Magister (=Mortmain) who hopes to marry Tessa and wants to use her ability of shape-shifting for his revenge on the shadowhunters.

I loved this book as much as the first one. They were both brilliant books. I loved Will even more in this book, because the wall he has built around himself was crumbling. Clockwork Prince reveals why he always was so mean. It's because he thought he was cursed and if anyone would love him, they would die. When the truth was finally out, we got to know the real Will. Then Will explained his love for Tessa, but it was too late. She was already engaged with Jem. Jem and Tessa were so cute together in Clockwork Prince. Jem was stronger and happier then he was before because of her. How lovely :)

New Characters: In the second and third book you get to know new characters. Cassandra's characters are so amazing. I loved everyone in this story.

Gabriel Lightwood: I always found that Will and Gabriel had a lot of the same character traits. If they didn't hate each other so much they would be good friends. I'm sure about that. But I actually liked to read about how they hate each other. It was very entertaining. It was also very predictable when Gabriel and Cecily fell in love, I loved the interaction between them. They are meant to be and they're my OTP!

Gideon Lightwood: Gideon was stupidly in love with Sophie, he tried to get her attention a lot. The way he always searched for a reason to just talk to her made me smile. I'm glad that a gentleman like Gideon was in love with her, because Sophie deserve someone like him. They are so sweet together!

Cecily Herondale: I love Cecily! She was the female replica of Will. Which is actually obvious 
because they are brother and sister. Cecily also had a great sense of humor and sarcasm. You get to know her well in the third book. She came to the Institute to rescue her brother. She thought that shadowhunters were evil creatures. So Cecily wanted to bring Will home .After a while she realizes that Will is already home, and so is she.

Book three; Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare
Published: September 5th 2013 by Walker Books Ltd (First Published March 19th 2013)
Genres: Ya, Fantasy, Science Fiction, Romance
Pages: 567
Goodreads

Mortmain wants to destroy the shadowhunters world. But before he can do that, he needs someone who can help him with that. He needs Tessa. When Mortmain abducts Tessa, Jem and Will will do anything to rescue her. But time is precious in this heart-breaking end... .

This was the best book of the trilogy! I did not even care about Mortmain in this story, I only wanted to know what happened with Tessa, Jem and Will. Was Tessa going to choose between them? Is Jem going to die because of the Yin Fen? I had so many questions. Fortunately, all of my questions were answered in the breathtaking conclusion to the Infernal Devices trilogy.

Ending/epilogue: I loved the end so much! It was perfect! I am still not over it! SPOILER ALERT everyone gets what they wanted. Will got the life he always dreamed about. He married Tessa and they have two children. Eventually he died of age. I was so sad and happy at the same time. It saddens me that Will is dead, but from the beginning I hoped that Will would have his dream life and he did. Even Jem got his. Because Tessa was immortal, she did not age and neither did Jem. He changed into a silent brother so that he wasn't addicted to the Yin Fen anymore. At the end (eighty years later), Jem was released from the Silent Brothers and he and Tessa got back together. Tessa truly loved the two boys and that is what matters to me.

“Most people are lucky to have even one great love in their life. You have found two.”

There is one more thing that I wanted to talk about and that is: when Jem transformed into a Silent Brother they named him brother Zachariah. I immediately knew that this name came for in The Mortal Instruments. So now I need to re-read the Mortal Instruments, I want to know more about Jem! When I read the Mortal Instruments I did not care about Brother Zachariah, and now I blame myself for it.

“Life was an uncertain thing.”

The Book Thief

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Published March 14th 2006 by Knopf Books for Young Readers
Genres: Historical Fiction, Ya, World War II
Pages: 550
Goodreads

The Book Thief is a historical fiction written by Markus Zusak. The story follows Liesel Meminger, a 9-year-old German girl who is going to live with her foster parents Hans and Rosa Hubermann. Hans teaches Liesel to read and write. Liesel becomes obsessed with reading and shares her stolen books with her neighbors and the Jewish man hidden in her basement during bombing raids. She quickly befriends the neighbor boy Rudy, who has a crush on her. But is her life going to stay the same after these dark times?

Well, there are already many reviews for this book, so I know that there are people who hate and people who love this book. I just loved every piece of it! It's actually one of my favorite books and I don't easily say that. Zusak's writing-style was really special but beautiful. The Book Thief is narrated by Death. At first I found it a little strange but when I read further it made perfect sense.

Characters: I did not always agree with Liesel, but that does not mean that I didn't love her. I loved that little girl with all my heart! The way Liesel was always busy with 'words' was fascinating, like she loves how words can fill her up, but she realizes that words can be ugly things at the same time. I also loved the other characters like Max, the Jewish man that was hidden in her basement. Max became a good friend of Liesel. I loved the way they had taken care of each other and when Max was ill, Liesel searched for gifts for him. I just found that so cute. They were like brother and sister. And then you have Rudy. I adore that boy. He was my favorite character of this book. The way he always looked for opportunities to get a kiss from Liesel was heartwarming and he often made me laugh. Every character in this book was unique and you get attached to the them so easily.

Ending: This was such a heart wrenching end, but it was so BRILLIANT! I can't explain it... . It was really sad but so realistic and that makes it marvelous. It's a story that really left me speechless. I'm not going to tell you more about it, because if you haven't read it yet I would ruin the whole story for you.

I recommend the Book Thief not only to teenagers but to adults as well. It is a book for anyone who loves a beautiful heart-breaking novel.

Delirium by Lauren Oliver

Delirium by Lauren Oliver
Published by HarperCollins on February  7th 2012 (first published January 1st 2011)
Genres: Ya science fiction
Pages: 441
Goodreads


I was looking for a fun read. So I checked goodreads and found this. It looked like a lovely trilogy and I ordered the three books so I had to read all the books. I found this a waste of money, because I did not like this serie at all. I'm so sorry for the people who love this trilogy and I do understand why they love it... but it just wasn't for me.

Delirium: Delirium is a Ya science-fiction novel written by Lauren Oliver. It's about Lena Holoway who lives in a world were love is a disease called 'Deliria'. Within ninety-five days she will be safe and get a life without love and pain because the government demands that all the citizens receive the cure upon turning eighteen. But with ninety-five days left until her treatment, the unthinkable happens: Lena met a boy and falls in love.

Characters: I had a problem with Lena. She really bothered me sometimes and I do not know why. But at the same time I felt a connection with her. I think that's because she's the narrator and Lauren described her feelings/ thoughts really well. Alex (the boy Lena falls in love with) also had a great personality and I felt a connection with him. But only with those two characters, not with the others like Hanna (Lena's best friend) or Lena's aunt. In the beginning I did not like Hanna, but she changed during the books and in the last book I understood her and I began to like her.

I found the first book not so good, but not bad either.
After I finished the first one I was excited for the second one because I wanted to know what happend with Lena and Alex. So I started reading Pandemonium and damn, I just did not like it. I mean come on! I almost was going to spoil, but I don't want to do that. So let's go further with the third book: Requiem. Requiem was such a disappointing book. It was really predictable and I found it dull, but I did have the courage to read further. I'm glad I finished this trilogy and okay, I was also happy with the ending, but I think Lauren should have written an epilogue.

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart
Published May 13th 2014 by Delacorte Press
Genres: Contemporary, Mystery, Ya Romance
Pages: 227
Goodreads

A beautiful and distinguished family.
A private island.
A brilliant, damaged girl; a passionate, political boy.
A group of four friends—the Liars—whose friendship turns destructive.
A revolution. An accident. A secret.
Lies upon lies.
True love.
The truth.

We Were Liars is a a modern, sophisticated suspense novel written by E. Lockhart. The story is about 'The Liars' three teenage cousins : Johnny, Mirren, our narrator Cadence and an outsider Gat). But something happend to them... Cadence had an accident which she can't remember and is left with crippling migraines.

A friend of me recommended this book,

she said it was beautiful and was constantly talking about the ending and how it was so unpredictable and so on which made me think: “Okay, I really want to read this book". Because my friend said so many positive things about it, I had a lot of expectations. But let me tell you this: “It was so breathtaking...so incredible... . We Were Liars left me defeated and I'm so glad that I have read this book. You should read it too if you haven't yet!

Characters: I liked everyone in this book. Some more than others. Lockhart described the characters very well, that it made me feel like I was there too. My favorite character was actually Johnny. I found him so funny. Maybe it was also because he didn't act so mysterious. Cadence was the narrator and sometimes there were parts where I thought : “WHAT AM I READING?” I was so confused!  for example: ‘Then he (Cadence's dad) pulled out a handgun and shot me in the chest. I was standing on the lawn and I fell. The bullet hole opened wide and my heart rolled out of my rib cage and down into a flower bed. Blood gushed rhythmically from my open wound, then from my eyes, my ears, my mouth’. When I read this again I was like: “Oh ok, it's how she felt.” (I think Cadence is really messed up but I understand because I would be messed up too) The other Characters like Gat and Mirren were okay, I liked them but I didn't 'love' them. The only thing that missed was that I did not easily get attached to the characters.

Ending: I had a lot of theories, but none of them were right (I mostly thought that Cadence was raped by Gat). Lockhart did a great job. I mean no one saw that coming! I had to re-read the end because I did not believe it... Damn, it was so unpredictable! I'm not going to spoil anything. I'm only going to say READ THIS BRILLIANT BOOK! Read it and if anyone asks you how it ends, just LIE.

All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven

All The Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
Published by Knopf on January 6th 2015
Genres: Contemporary, Mental Illness, YA Romance
Pages: 388
Goodreads

The Fault in Our Stars meets Eleanor and Park in this exhilarating and heart-wrenching love story about a girl who learns to live from a boy who intends to die.When Finch and Violet meet on the ledge of the bell tower at school, it’s unclear who saves whom. And when they pair up on a project to discover the “natural wonders” of their state, both Finch and Violet make more important discoveries: It’s only with Violet that Finch can be himself—a weird, funny, live-out-loud guy who’s not such a freak after all. And it’s only with Finch that Violet can forget to count away the days and start living them. But as Violet’s world grows, Finch’s begins to shrink.

The only thing you really need to know before picking up this book is that once you start reading... you won't be able to stop. This book is so beautiful and incredible! It deals with depression and mental illness and changes the way you look at the world.

It's a book that makes you think about everything and anything.

The writing style is astonishing and beautiful (at some points I was a bit confused with the constant POV change. Am I reading Violet's point of view or Finch's?) You get attached to the characters so easily because they are so genuine. I really loved their personalities. Jennifer introduces us to two intelligent teenagers, whom both have some issues; Violet lost her sister in a car accident which she blames herself for, and Finch has depression.

In this story Theodore Finch stole my heart! He was so...I don't know how to say it...but he was so real... like he was my best friend. Violet was also a great character, but I loved Finch more.

This story will stay with me forever; and I hope that you will read it one day, because it's sure worth your time, let me tell you that!
