Top Ten of 2014: Speculative YA


In no particular order, here are my favourite Speculative Young Adult books (fantasy, dystopia, etc) I've read this year. . .
  1. Shimmer by Paula Weston (This doesn't come out until June 2015 in North America, so you better believe I imported it from the UK. That's how much I adore this series)
  2. Mortal Heart by Robin LaFevers (What an epic end to an amazingggg trilogy. Romantic, fantastic, and hopeful)
  3. Silver Shadows by Richelle Mead (Adrian 4ever!! In all seriousness I have loved every book in this series and they just keep getting more exciting. Must reads!!)
  4. The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski (So deliciously written! Epic world building and very complicated relationships abound)
  5. Independent Study by Joelle Charbonneau (This series is so freaking good. You can see hints of other dystopian tales, but the author makes the world all her own)
  6. Three by Kristen Simmons (This is a hugely underrated series, and Three is a perfect conclusion to the trilogy)
  7. Lady Thief by A.G. Gaughen (THIS BOOK. This book!!! Talk about underrated. I adore everything about this book, except maybe that gut-wrenchingly painful part)
  8. In the Afterlight by Alexandra Bracken (This is another fabulous ending to a wonderful trilogy. One of my faves!)
  9. A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray (A wonderful start to a series filled with parallel worlds and parallel versions of characters. Exciting and romantic)
  10. The One by Kiera Cass (This series drove me crazy, and yet I ADORED it, too. Even if some things felt convenient, I really loved this conclusion to the trilogy)

  1. LADY THIEF!!! Gah, that book. It hurt so good lol. I'm always excited when I find someone else who's read it, because it really is underrated. It and Scarlet are books I wish I could tell absolutely everyone to read. I can't wait for the last book.
