Most of my favorite series
are relatively unknown but are absolutely AMAZING. I've wanted to
make a post about it for a while and I'm excited to be finally doing
it!
(ps One thing before I
start: I've decided that I'm going to attempt to make a blog post
Monday-Wednesday-Friday, with a review once a week. We'll see how
this goes...)
(pss these are in no
particular order)
- Literally all of Wayne Thomas Batson's books because I can't choose just one series of his to recommend to you. He is very easily in my top three favorite authors. Warning: If you read his books, you aren't going to want to read anything else because his writing is absolutely amazing. Here is a list of his series that I own & love:
- The Berinfell Prophecies trilogy (the first book being Curse of the Spider King). It's about teenage elves that don't know that they're elves and ahhh it's just so good. One of the characters has blue skin and everyone is so amazing and adorable and *happy flails*
- The Isle trilogy (the first book being Isle of Swords). This series is so good, and it has pirates in it, who are amazing.
- The Door Within trilogy (first book being the Door Within). This is probably my least favorite series of his, but it's been a while since I read it...and even with it being my least favorite, it's Wayne Thomas Batson so it's still good.
- The Dark Sea Annals series (the first book being Sword in the Stars). I loooove this series. There are only two books out so far but if I remember correctly there are supposed to be 5-7 books in this series. also, loOK UP THESE COVERS IF THAT ALONE DOESN'T MAKE YOU WANT TO READ THE SERIES I DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL (they're even more gorgeous IRL I can't even)
- The Dreamtreaders trilogy (first book being Dreamtreaders). The first book is my least favorite but it definitely gets better as it goes along. And the world building and characters are <3333333
- the Merlin Spiral trilogy (the first book being Merlin's Blade) by Robert Treskillard. This. Series. Man. It's a retelling of Merlin and they are absolutely amazing and he's working on a companion series and I am SO. EXCITED. (99% sure this blog post is just me flailing about my favorite series)
- the Out of Time trilogy (the first book being A Time to Die) by Nadine Brandes. I received the last book in the series on Friday night and finished it early Saturday. THIS. SERIES. I highly recommend this series, the storyline is so cool and the characters <3. ('specially Jude. I LOVE JUDE) And the covers. GORGEOUS.
- The Maze Runner series (first book being the Maze Runner) by James Dashner. Okay so technically the first book is the Kill Order but you need to read the original trilogy first sO YOU CAN BE CONFUSED LIKE EVERYONE WAS BEFORE WE HAD THE PREQUELS. With these books, you either are a crazy fan (like yours truly) or you don't like them at all. I'm not going to judge you either way. But yes I love these books. Read themmmm.
- The SWIPE series (first book being SWIPE) by Evan Angler. These books are SOOO. AMAZING. The writing is a bit more middle-grade but the story itself is more young adult if that makes sense. I perceived it as a take on the Rapture/right before it. But I love this series, there was supposed to be a fifth book but I think for some reason it's not being published. *cries for eternity*
6. The
Blood of Kings trilogy (first
book being By Darkness Hid) by Jill Williamson. This series is set
in medieval times and it is soo good. It involves a form of
telepathy and ahhhh. The books are quite big go read it now). And the characters are my precious children.
Make
sure you comment and tell me whether you've read any of these series,
or plan to, and tell me YOUR favorite series!

The only one I've heard of or read is The Maze Runner XD And I did read them before they made the movies and I found the mystery good, but the ending I didn't like how open ended it was. Eh. I haven't read the prequels though.
ReplyDeleteThese sound really interesting though! I used to be a super avid reader but the past few years have been a dry spell for me and I want to get back in, so maybe I'll try some of these :)
Yeah, I hated the ending of the Maze Runner too. I like how the prequels gave explanation for how the earth got the be that way and just backstory for everyone. (for the record, I didn't watch the books because of the movies. :p I watched the movie the other day and hated it :P) If you read any of these series, I hope you like them!
DeleteI'll let you know if I do! :)
