How about reading something a little less popular, but equally awesome?

Like some paranormal with your dystopia? Try this fantastic self-published wonder - Angelfall by Susan Ee. This novel is set in a world destroyed  by vengeful angels.





Prefer desert landscapes, girl cage fighting and giant worm? Why not try Moira Young's Blood Red Road? 

Blood Re
No?

Feel like something a little more literary and gritty?

Check out Paolo Bacigalupi's Printz and National Book Award winning Ship Breaker. Bacigalupi's characters endure their tough lives in a world of exhausted natural resources, genetic engineering, poverty and rampant global warming.

How about a story about teen characters whose existence is  in danger because they are deemed undesirable by their parents and society and sentenced to death by unwinding.

I guarantee, Neal Shusterman's Unwind
will scare you in the best and worst possible way.

Win an ARC of the upcoming dystopia Partials by Dan Wells

Partials cover
Blurb (GR): The human race is all but extinct after a war with Partials--engineered organic beings identical to humans--has decimated the population. Reduced to only tens of thousands by RM, a weaponized virus to which only a fraction of humanity is immune, the survivors in North America have huddled together on Long Island while the Partials have mysteriously retreated. The threat of the Partials is still imminent, but, worse, no baby has been born immune to RM in more than a decade. Our time is running out.

Kira, a sixteen-year-old medic-in-training, is on the front lines of this battle, seeing RM ravage the community while mandatory pregnancy laws have pushed what's left of humanity to the brink of civil war, and she's not content to stand by and watch. But as she makes a desperate decision to save the last of her race, she will find that the survival of humans and Partials alike rests in her attempts to uncover the connections between them--connections that humanity has forgotten, or perhaps never even knew were there.

Dan Wells, acclaimed author of "I Am Not a Serial Killer," takes readers on a pulsepounding journey into a world where the very concept of what it means to be human is in question--one where our humanity is both our greatest liability and our only hope for survival.

A lot of buzz about this one. Harper expects it to be big, so maybe it will? Kind of like "Divergent."

I am AWFULLY tempted to enter this contest because I really liked the book and want a hard copy. But I will be good and refrain, because I think people should read it! :D

Awesome giveaway, ladies. I enjoyed the dystopian round-up, too.

US only, ha? Et tu, Brute?
Kidding, I wouldn't have entered anyway, i think I've had enough of dystopia for a while.
But yaaay, The Readventurer is alive and it can be in my daily rounds again.
I'm so happy for you ladies, and honestly, I'm happy for me too because I'll have awesome posts to read more often.

These are all great suggestions! I just recently heard about Angelfall and picked it up for $0.99! Can't wait to read it...I've heard such awesome things! Loved BRR, too...one of my faves from last year.

I have not had much luck with YA Dystopian Fiction lately, but I just can't say no to the genre (at least not for long)...it's so alluring & addictive.

Who can?;) Even though you have to dig through a ton of bad ones to find one gem.
