5 Authors 10 Books That Read-A-Like {Dystopian, Fantasy & Science Fiction Bookishness}

If You Like Veronica Roth (Divergent), Then You'll Like ...

Legend Marie Lu (Legend) - because this dystopian society is also seriously messed up, and yeah - there is a cute romance involved too. {see my discussion @ Weekly Reading with Olive Kitteridge and Legend}

Lauren Oliver (Delirium) - because although the dystopian Worlds created in both books seem a little implausible, the strength of characters can't be denied. {Amazon | Goodreads}

If you like George R.R. Martin (A Song Of Ice & Fire Series), Then You'll Like ...

Wizards First Rule Terry Goodkind (Sword of Truth Series) - because of 4 words ... epic fantasy done right! Start from the beginning with Wizard's First Rule and prepare to lose yourself to Richard & Kahlan. {Amazon | Goodreads}

Steven King (The Dark Tower Series) - because the strong characters & their stories will hold you captive. {Amazon | Goodreads}

If You Like China Mieville (Embassytown), Then You'll Like ...

Gods War Kameron Hurley (God's War) - because of the incredibly inventive World building skills ... and I think you'll like this better than Embassytown {see my discussion @ Weekly Reading During God's War}

N.K. Jemisin (The Kingdom of Gods) - more fantasy than science fiction, but again, the World building skills & prose are glorious ... and I think you'll also like this better than Embassytown {see my discussion @ Weekly Reading In The Freedom Maze and The Kingdom of Gods}

If You Like Jo Walton (Among Others), Then You'll Like ...

Lauren Oliver (Before I Fall) - because although this is also light on the fantasy, it's the story that will take your breath away ... and yes, I think you'll like this book better than Among Others {Amazon | Goodreads}

Melina Marchetta (Jellicoe Road) - because of both the main characters are a bit depressed, but trying to figure out their place in the World ... I think you'll also prefer this book to Among Others. {Amazon | Goodreads}

If You Like Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games) - Then You'll Like ...

Maggie Stiefvater (The Scorpio Races) - because another girl who no one expects to make it, does - with grit, determination & a fierce amount of hard work + help from unexpected friends - although she has her fair share of enemies too {see my discussion @ Weekly Reading at The Scorpio Races with Mara Dyer}

Maria Snyder (Poison Study) - because girl power rules ... again! {Amazon | Goodreads}
