100+ Books for Divergent Fans

Over 100 awesome books for Divergent Fans. Know someone trying to figure out what to read after Harry Potter and Divergent? This is the ultimate reading list!

I loved the Divergent books so much so I thought I’d make a massive gigantor list of books for Divergent fans. I know that Divergent struck a chord with so many of us and whether you have been reading ever since or you just keep meaning to find another book I’ve got some great suggestions for your reading list.

Between all the books in all of these series there are well over 100 books in this list so plenty for you to pick from. Since there are so many I’m breaking them down into different groups.

I’m not putting any descriptions just because that would make the post crrrrraaaaazy long. But I’m linking all the books so feel free to click on the titles to read the synopses on amazon.

I’ll make sure to update this list as I read other great books and if I have missed any of your favorites please leave them in the comments and I’ll make sure to add them too!

My Top Books for Divergent Lovers

These books are some of my favorites. Most of them are series. Actually all of them except Atlantia. So there are a lot of books in that bunch. Some are finished some are new and still have books coming out.

All of them I adored. When I think of Divergent I think of Tris and her strong personality, action and fighting, romance and friendship, sassy banter, a political/social setting that is off or dystopian.

Each of these share many of these features. Some are more realistic like Divergent and some have magical elements. All of them are great! And some I’ve grown to love even more than Divergent (gasp, I know don’t tell okay).

1. Legend Trilogy by Marie Lu
2. The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (starts with Cinder)
3. The Lone City Trilogy by Amy Ewing (starts with The Jewel)
4. Snow Like Ashes by Sarah Raasch

I Read These and I Know Lots of People Who Liked Divergent Liked These But They Weren’t My Favs

So here’s the deal with these books, I read them but for one reason or another they were not my favorites. Most of these series I didn’t like enough to finish.

Whether I couldn’t jive with the characters, the writing style irritated me, or some other personal reason I didn’t love these. But that being said you might. I can see why other people liked that (and many many people do) so you might want to check them out.
