Many of these books will be the last in their series because I seem to have a thing against reading series enders.
- Legend series by Marie Lu – Champion
- His Fair Assassins series by Robin LaFevers – Mortal Heart
- Splintered series by A.G. Howard – Ensnared & novellas
- The Shatter Me series by Tahereh Mafi – Ignite Me
- The Rot & Ruin series by Jonathan Maberry – Flesh & Bone & Fire & Ashes
- The Lotus War series by Jay Kristoff – Kinslayer, & Endsinger
- The Lord of the Rings trilogy by J.R.R. Tolkien – The Return of the King (Considering I know more about this series than most others, excluding HP…it’s sort of weird I haven’t read this yet).
- The Wheel of the Time series by Robert Jordan – The Great Hunt, onward
- The Starters series by Lissa Price – Enders.
- The Testing Series by Joelle Charbonneu – Graduation Day
I put off reading series enders too, though I was happy with the way the Legend series wraps up! I’ve heard good things about the Lotus War series and His Fair Assassins but I haven’t even started them yet.
I’ve heard Champion is awesome, and I really want to get to it….but I just haven’t.
You haven’t read Ensnared yet? It blows Unhinged out of the water and is a tad better than Splintered. This is the second TTT I have seen Enders on, and it is going to be on my Top Five list, too. I really liked Starters and feel foolish not finishing a duology.
I know I really need to get to it, I’ve had it since it released. The reason I haven’t read Enders is because I’m not sure if I’m going to like it, my reading tastes have changed since I read the first one.
Great list! I’ve also struggled with series enders ever since I read Lauren Oliver’s Requiem; her complete lack of an ending has made me forever suspicious. Mortal Heart made my list, too. 🙂 I hope you get to some of these soon!
Thank you, and I hate when last books do that. The last series I finished was the Divergent trilogy and Allegiant was so slow and boring for me.
I haven’t read Mortal Heart either. I had to make a “series in progress” Goodreads shelf to track what I’ve started but haven’t finished because it was becoming a problem.
That’s a pretty good idea!
The only one of these I have finished is The Lord of the Rings series. And I found it tedious, so much description so many names almost the same, so not my style. My TTT
It’s definitely tedious and I love it. It doesn’t help that over half of the names are like 7 letters long at least.
aww you need to read LOTR! 🙂 My TTT
I know! I seriously need to finish it. I know what happens but still, it’s way overdue.
I’ve only finished the Legend series and The Testing series. I’ve started a couple of the others but never finished either. I’m not sure yet that I’m interested in reading the rest. =/
Some of these I’ve lost interest in as well, so I’m not sure if I’ll revisit them either. But I’m definitely going to finish the Legend series and the Testing series, I’ve really enjoyed both of those so far.
