Reccomend Me A Good Young Adult Fantasy Book Series To Read?

I really like reading YA fantasy. (not like twilight) I like it when theres action, romance, and a good plot. And I prefer that its a series. Also I do like gay characters but there doesnt have to be any.

Some great book series that I've read are:

Harry Potter

Percy Jackson

Hunger Games

Divergent

The Iron Fey

Witch Eyes

The Mortal Instruments

The Infernal Devices

The Sisters Grimm

Artemis Fowl

Maximum Ride

So yeah.

    Because you mentioned Hunger Games and Divergent, I might recommend some like it below. Before that, though, if you like gay characters, you might like Everyday by David Levithan, about a person who wakes up in a different body every day, and doesn't mind until falling in love. Anyway:

    Across the Universe by Beth Revis - 2011. When 17-year-old Amy joins her parents as frozen cargo on a spaceship, she expects to be thawed 300 years later upon arrival at a new planet. However, her world turns upside down when she is awakened fifty years too early and finds herself embroiled in the mystery surrounding the attempted murders of frozen passengers. Her life endangered by Eldest, the tyrannical leader of the ship's maintenance population, she turns to her only ally: Elder, the young man destined to take Eldest's place as leader. As they solve the mystery together, romance blossoms between Amy and Elder, complicating an already complex situation.

    The Shore of Monsters by David J. Nix – 2011. Five generations earlier, a horde of monsters nearly obliterated humanity. All males are dead or ruined by a monster plague; words like 'father' and 'romance' have lost meaning. When teenager Sky joins an expedition to the shore that falls apart, she must survive amongst the monsters that roam the ruins. She gets unexpected help from a very surprising source. Mystery, action, and romance follow!

    Blood Red Road (Dustlands Series) by Moira Young – 2012. In a post-apocalyptic future, 18-year-old Saba’s twin brother is stolen by black-clad riders. When tough-as-nails Saba launches a relentless search to recover him, she must fight for her life in gladiator cages, overcome enemies both creature and human, and learn to trust others for the first time. And try as she might, she can’t help but fall for the charming scoundrel Jack, who just may understand her more than she knows.

    Delirium by Lauren Oliver – 2011. In the tightly controlled society of a future America, love is forbidden, classified as ‘deliria’ by authorities. Three months before her 18th birthday and a mandatory procedure to ‘cure’ her deliria, Lena meets Alex, who sends her heart aflutter. As love blossoms between the two, Lena questions what she has always been told about love, and begins to consider the unthinkable: not submitting to the cure, and choosing deliria instead. Beautifully written, but a little slow.

    The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan – 2010. Seven generations have passed since the Return, a plague that reanimates dead humans into creatures that feed on the living. Teenager Mary lives inside one of the last enclaves of uninfected, protected by a chain link fence that surrounds her village. When the fence is breached, Mary flees the village with a small band of survivors. Their flight toward an uncertain salvation is both harrowing and revealing, as they try to determine if they are humanity’s last hope.

    How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff – 2006. Fascinating novel about the outbreak of a 21st century world war as seen through the eyes of Daisy, a 15 year old American staying with her cousins on a remote England farm. At first utopian, the kid's existence degenerates into horror as the war encroaches on the farm. Through the several month period covered by the story, Daisy grows from a self-centered girl into a determined survivor. This book will leave a mark on the reader for years to come.

    Matched by Allie Condy – 2010. In Cassia’s society, officials determine everything for you: what you will eat, what job you will have, and who you will marry. When Cassia is matched to her best friend, Xander, at a matching ceremony, she believes Society has made a good choice. However, a ‘glitch’ causes another face to be briefly revealed to her: that of a boy named Ky. Haunted by the face, Cassia begins to consider the unthinkable: of rebelling against the predetermined path of her life and choosing for herself.

    Unwind by Neal Shusterman - 2009. In post-war future, the abortion debate has been solved through compromise. Parents may elect to have their teenage children "unwound", a process where the teens organs and body parts are harvested for others. The story follows three runaway Unwinds, each discarded for behavior, religious, or economic reasons. As the trio embarks on a harrowing journey of escape, the reader will ponder very heavy moral questions, and wrestle with how much a bad decision can affect future generations. This is a masterpiece on every level!

    ANY of John Green books, but his best by far is "The Fault in our Stars." I read at least a hundred books a year, and this one stays on my top ten list. this book will make you laugh, cry, smile, and hurt, but it shows you the best in people can come out in the worst of times. It has Romance a GREAT plot and doesn't really have action, please read it if you haven't already. Also "The Host" is written by Stephanie Meyer, author of the Twilight series, but is extremely different, It has Action, Romance, and a Great Plot, and is also on my top ten list. Then for some very odd reason I never get sick of reading "Anna and the French Kiss" by Stephanie Perkins. It as Romance and a great plot!

    Also John Green has another book called "Will Grayson, Will Grayson" and it has Gay people, Action, Romance, and a very interesting plot.

    unfortunately none of these are a series, (Anna and the French Kiss has a kinda sorta extended story with some characters in it called "Lola and the Boy next door" that has gays, romance, and awesome plot.) but are all very good books that I have read Multiple times.

    Hope you enjoy! sorry if I got a little carried away, I could go on forever......

    A book like The Hunger Games and Divergent is After the Fear by Rosanne Rivers, it also has two gay characters. (It's my fave book at the moment!)

    A book like Harry Potter and Percy Jaskson is Leven Thumps by Obert Skye (no gay characters).

    A fantasy book a bit like The Sisters Grimm and The Iron Fey is Graceling, Bitterblue or Fire by Kristen Cashore. I think all three feature gay characters.

    Song of the Lioness quartet by Tamora Pierce

    The Dark is Rising sequence by Susan Cooper

    The Weetzie Bat series by Francesca Lia Block (this is more fiction with urban fantasy elements, plus Weetzie's best friend Dirk is gay. The first 5 books can be found in a collection called Dangerous Angels.)

    The Demon King (4 books) - Cinda Williams Chima - Involves wizards, it's about two lovers whose ancestors were betrayed 1000 years ago. Here's a summary of the first book. There is a lesbian couple later in the series if that helps at all.

    http://www.cindachima.com/Demon_King/Demon_King.ht...

    The Warrior Heir (3 books) - Cinda Williams Chima - Involves wizards, enchanters, ect, but set in a modern time. In this one two friends are forced to fight to the death.

    Gone - Michael Grant - Everyone in a town over 15 dissappears, and some of the kids left begin to develop super powers. Another book with a lesbian character, who actually happens to be one of my favorites in this series.

    Enagon - Elves, dragons, all that fun stuff.

    Inkheart - Cornelia Funke

    Dragon Rider - Cornelia Funke

    Hopefully at least one of these will be to your liking. The first 3 have some romance in them, but the first one especially. All of these series are complete except Gone, which has one book left that should be out in a few months.

    Jeremy Raybourne and The Mystical Gene (Book 1: of Journey To The New Awakening) Trilogy

  • I would recommend His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. It's one of the best fantasy books for young adults out there. If you are offended by religious criticism then, I wouldn't recommend this book to you, but if you are o.k. with it than this is a great book to read.

    Reading the publication instead of seeing the movie is the ultimate way to see what the writer supposed. Reading uses your creativeness, hones your reading skills, and can better your vocabulary
