Darth Richard II Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 That's uh, odd. I just read book 3, and I love them. Also, not YA at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 @Xray the Enforcer I really love V.E. Schwab's Darker Shade of Magic series. The third/final book is out next week. It revoles around four parallel worlds, each wirh their own version of London. And there's magic and pirates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Richard II Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Well I still don't really understand what makes something YA or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argonath Diver Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I wish I could figure out which box of old books packed away in my parents' attic contains my childhood copy of The Westing Game. Man I loved that book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kairparavel Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 It's not SFF but it is YA and it's very very good: The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas Definitely merited all it's pre-publication buzz. http://nymag.com/thecut/2017/03/angie-thomas-the-hate-u-give-interview-ya-novel.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Cool! Ordered it -- will report back once I've had a chance to start it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.T. Phipps Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I recommend STAR WARS: LOST STARS. A really good YA romance in a galaxy far far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ljkeane Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I don't tend to specifically seek out YA books but I think Kate Elliott's Court of Fives trilogy is advertised as YA and it's really good. The last book is apparently coming out in July as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kairparavel Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Just started Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. And I used my Open Table rewards (who knew that was a thing? ) to buy Hunted by Meagan Spooner for my Kindle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I adore Lazlo Strange and want nothing but good things for him. And the story was interesting - I didn't feel like I was reading a re-tread of a story told a million times. Looking forward to the second book in the duology. And now I'm back to Six of Crows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xray the Enforcer Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 cool! I'll check that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.T. Phipps Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I created a thread for the Alexis Carew series by J.A. Sutherland, which is basically YA Honor Harrington without the long boring tech details or screeds against welfare before the character ceases to be a factor in her own series. Really charming books. I also like he's allowing the character to age into adulthood. The premise is a 15 year old girl joins as a midshipman in New London's Space Navy despite the fact the colonies don't generally accept women into their service. Pirates, German imperialists, French frenemies, and a psychotic captain ensue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
