I am an avid reader, which works out well considering I average about one book every three to four days during the summer. My summer job consists of sitting around for the greater part of my shift, giving me hours to read whatever I like.
This summer, I have been a huge fan of trilogies. When I find a book that I love, it’s hard to let it go once it’s done, but with trilogies, you don’t have to. I feel three books is the perfect length for most stories. It’s not drawn out too much, but it’s the perfect amount to (hopefully) leave you satisfied with the story.
I don’t know about you, but when I fall in love with a book, I immerse myself into the characters' world while I’m reading it, and it can be pretty hard to move on from a great read once it’s over.
Here are my top three favorite trilogies I have read so far this summer.
1. Feed by Mira Grant
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live during a zombie apocalypse? Well, my favorite fictional heroine, Georgia Mason, humorously and sarcastically chronicles her adventures through the Feed series, leading us through one government conspiracy after the other, while dodging ferocious zombie attacks
2. Divergent by Veronica Roth
If you were a fan of the Hunger Games trilogy, I would definitely recommend this one. Even if you weren’t a fan, I would still recommend it. Set in the future, when humanity has seemingly lost all control, we meet our heroine, Beatrice Prior. Better known as Tris throughout the series, she fights for what she believes is right for society and her people, which is their freedom. Something is not right within their factions, and Tris makes it her life’s purpose to set things right.
3. The Maze Runner by James Dashner
I am a sucker for young adult dystopian novels, and this trilogy did not disappoint. Set in a time where the world seems to be coming to an end at the hands of a disease alarmingly similar to a zombie apocalypse, though not the same thing. This series centers on Thomas, a teenage boy who wakes up to find himself in a “Maze” with other teenage boys who are unable to recall any of their pasts. While fighting to survive, these boys start discovering things that don’t add up, ultimately leading to the reason why they were put where they are.
