Ranking every YA Dystopian Books I’ve Read

A couple of months ago, I posted a blog about popular YA Dystopian books that I want to read. It is a genre that I am into back in the days, and I want to relive the feeling and the nostalgia of reading about this kind of story line.

Looking back at all the YA Dystopian books that I have read, I realized that I read fewer series than I expected. And out of the blue, I have the urge to rank each series that I completed.

But before diving into my ranking, I wanted to mention that this ranking is solely base on the completed series that I have read. In addition to that, since reviving a series is a trend these days, I will be ranking these series based on the original trilogy or series. Furthermore, the rank was based on the whole series and not by each book.

I have eight trilogy/series that I want to talk about, so let’s get into it!

Reading Popular YA Dystopian Books

Dystopian/dystopia has been a popular genre back in the year 2010 to 2012. But for me, it reached its peak in 2012. A lot of great dystopian books came out in the past years and I remember reading some of the most popular series/trilogy in this genre. But these past 4 or 5 years, the new releases for this genre does not peaked my interest because I feel like most of the good tropes or plot has already been written and the other books are just footnotes or an afterthought. So with that mindset, I plan to read the older dystopian books that was also popular and making a hype back in The Hunger Games era. (Yeah that’s what I call it.)

I am a self-proclaimed dystopian lover and I want to do a blog where I could recommend or rank dystopian books. However, I am aware that the books that I have read is not even half of the popular books in this genre. So I did some research and picked 9 books that I planned to read. The books that I picked are the books that I have been hearing back in the days that I haven’t gotten around to. I list them down in a piece of paper and ranked them by their Goodreads rating. I am reading it from the lowest to the highest ranking books. In addition to that, I am only reading the first book in the series/trilogy and that will be the deciding factor if I will continue on with this series.

So I will not make this intro much longer than it should have and let’s get into the books!
