Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
This week's topic is Top Ten Sequels I Can't Wait to Get My Hands On. So, in no particular order, here are the sequels I'm dying to read.
The Archived was one of the most impressive and original novels I read this year so I am definitely, DEFINITELY excited for its sequel. Especially because of all the Wesley that is apparently in it. Eep!
Her Dark Curiosity (The Madman's Daughter #2) by Megan Shepherd.
I really enjoyed The Madman's Daughter and after the ending Megan Shepherd left us with, I can't wait to see what comes next!
Technically this one shouldn't really be on my list because I already do have my hands on it, but I haven't been able to pick it up yet, so I'm leaving it here (and yes, it's a #3 not a #2, whatever. It's not the only one on the list so too bad). But yes. So excited. Because CRESS.
Ignite Me (Shatter Me #3) by Tahereh Mafi.I'm really quite nervous about what's going to happen in this one, but I'm sincerely hoping I like it (Sorry not sorry but Juliette, as the girl she is now, does not belong with Warner. Also please give me more Kenji). I'm still very excited to read it, but so hoping it doesn't get spoiled for me early.
I really liked Reboot and I'm excited for more Wren and Callum! I'm definitely hoping there's more swoon for them in this one because their relationship was moving fairly slowly in Reboot (which, hey, totally fair... I just ship them and would enjoy the swoons). I'm a little wary of the dual POV though, both for its plot implications and for the quality of its execution. I'm not loving the Tris/Four dual POV in Allegiant, so here's hoping this one impresses me more.
The Worlds We Make (Fallen World #3) by Megan Crewe.I'm a big fan of this series and I can't wait to read the ending, even though it means it'll be over. I'm excited to see what happens to the gang (please let Gav survive) and the Canadian landscape is totally an awesome bonus.
Shadowplay (Pantomime #2) by Laura Lam.Pantomime really surprised me and I enjoyed it a lot, so I'm certainly looking forward to its sequel. Especially after the crazy ending, though. Oh Micha, what trouble will you get into this time?
Born of Deception (Born of Illusion #2) by Teri Brown.Another one that I really enjoyed (Born of Illusion), so reading the sequel sounds like a given. I'm especially curious about the ongoing mysteries surrounding Anna and though I'm really bummed to hear that she and Cole get pulled apart, I'm still interested in seeing what a change of location to London holds for her.
Shadowscale (Seraphina #2) by Rachel Hartman.
I have no idea what's going on with this book because there's still no cover and it looks like it has been pushed back to 2015. 2015, guys! *weeps*
Untitled sequel to Pawn by Aimée Carter.
I was actually really impressed by Pawn, especially because everything remotely "dystopian" and revolutionary seems to be the same now and this one wasn't like that and was pretty enjoyable. My review goes up very soon, but for now I'll just say that I'm definitely curious to see what comes next!
YES I want to read so many of these books! And I agree, more Kenji please!!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely more Kenji! He's probably my favourite of the series, Juliette be darned. He makes her so much better.
DeleteI haven't read any of these series yet, but there are a few that I really want to get to. I definitely want to read The Madman's Daughter soon.
ReplyDeleteThe Madman's Daughter was REALLY interesting. I'd definitely recommend giving it a shot!
DeleteI needs Cress!!!!
ReplyDeleteCRESS. I'm SO EXCITED!
DeleteI can't wait for Cress and Ignite Me. So excited :-)
ReplyDeleteYes! Those two are going to be great ones, I think!
DeleteI own Pantomime and have been wanting to read it for a while now, so it will definitely go up on my tbr with the sequel coming out. And same with Born of Illusion. Can't wait for Cress and Her Dark Curiosity!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices :)
My Top Ten
Pantomime and Born of Illusion were great and I'd definitely recommend moving them up on your TBR! As for the other two... yeah. I want to read them NOW! :)
DeleteThree cheers for Cress! I've read wonderful things about that series. :)
ReplyDeleteA lot of people LOVE the series and I have wound up as one of them! :)
DeleteGreat list. I am still dying to start Cinder, Archived and Shatter me - I have heard so many amazing things about these series that I am sooo unbelievably excited to start them all. My TTT.
ReplyDeleteThose series are totally worth starting! Cinder was a great story with awesome world building, The Archived has absolutely gorgeous writing, and Shatter Me was an excellent start to the series!
DeleteOoo, I am looking forward to THE UNBOUND and REBEL, too--I also like the clever way they've continued the feel of the titles without being too cutesy! I really liked MADMAN'S DAUGHTER but I've been hesitant about the sequel since I've heard some mixed reactions, but hey, I just need to check that out for myself sometime. Great list! :)
ReplyDeleteWendy @ The Midnight Garden
I agree, those titles were both well chosen to fit but not be cheesy. I really enjoyed the first ones so I'm excited! I've heard mixed things about Her Dark Curiosity too but I'm really hoping the things that are bothering others won't get to me because I want to love it! Worth the shot, at least, right? :)
