 Hey guys, it's Tilly and in honour of the US elections and our new president I have decided to do my top 10 YA dystopian books slash kind of like apocalyptic slash fantasy because these things are always in like mixed genres. So like I said, this is kind of a mix of everything, I'm going off what Goodread says so most of these books that are on here appear in the dystopian section but I am aware that a lot of them are very like post apocalyptic, zombie apocalyptic and there's also a mix of fantasy but most of these are based in the real world slash loosely based off them. Some of them don't specifically say but they give off a very earthy feel so I'm just going to jump straight into it and start with number 10. In 10th place we have this amazing book Reboot by Amy Tintara. This is actually a duology but I pretend the second book doesn't exist because this one was good enough on its own and the second one was just like not. In this book you have Reboot they kind of work like soldiers in the army kind of thing but they are actually people who have died and then come back after death and they are then trained as soldiers. Depending on how long it took for you to come back to life, you have Ren Connolly who is the person who died for the longest so she died for 178 minutes and she woke up so she's not very human at all and she becomes such a high soldier that she ends up training them as well and then this way she meets Callum who was dead for 22 minutes so he's very human and she decides to take him on to her prodigy and train him but during that time she realized that things are not exactly as they seem and basically it's really good and action-packed and pretty dangerous world that they live in. There's actually like a few books on my list where I like ignore the last book in the series because they're not very good and including that little area that I have we have Angel Fool by Suzanne E. So this is actually kind of like a paranormal book. It features angels and these angels are not your typical lovey-dovey floaty around happy kind of angels these are like ruthless murdering angels that destroyed earth completely and they are absolutely ruthless. And then you have Penrin who is this amazing strong female character who has a sister who is handicapped and one day Angel steal her handicapped sister so of course Penrin is on this rage path to get her sister back so you follow her on that journey and it is really good and intense and like the world is actually pretty scary like what it turned out like so yeah we better prepare. Next up is one that I find is slightly underrated I don't know many other people who have read this series but I myself enjoyed it and I think more people should read it but that is slated by Terry Terry. So basically you have this community where people are criminals they can get their minds slated and then they are restarted again in a new town with a new family where they can basically have a second chance at living. So you have a young girl here Kyla she was basically accused of being a terrorist so she had her mind slated and she's now in a new family and settling into this new life. But when she meets a certain boy her memories start to kind of come skewed and she starts to remember things from her old life and so she's very torn between having to live her new life or find out more about her old life. Next up we have a very big crowd favorite. I remember reading this book and absolutely loving it and I do really hold it dear to my heart because it was so freaking good and that is Shaddeny by Tahira Mafi. This is such a badass book so first of all you have Juliet here and she has this magical ability that when she touches people they die. We could all use that power right about now. This group called the Re-establishment want to use her powers for evil but Juliet has other plans on her mind and with the help of a young boy she decides that she might change her future for good. Next up I have another book that I absolutely love so this is the book in sixth place and now that I'm looking at it I really do want to put it higher but there are so many good books in my pile. Either way you guys have to read this next one and that is Legend by Mary Lou. I can't stress enough how much you guys have to read this book. If you guys love the Stopia honestly jump on board it is amazing. So you have June who's a military prodigy and one day her brother Mattiah is killed and it is so sad because we love Mattiah for like the future happens is actually in because he's such a sweetheart and basically the death is pinned on a young boy called Day who is the most wanted criminal. So June takes it upon herself to hunt down Day and in that time they end up colliding together and discovering secrets about the country that aren't so good and yes it is amazing and fun and action packs and I love this series even the ending which had me like in tears but it is so good. So in fifth place we have another awesome duology that I think is very underrated and that is Disruption and Corruption by Jessica Shrivington. So this book is absolutely amazing. Nine years ago a corporation called Mercer Corporation actually made these M bands mandatory and these M bands pretty much like mate bands I guess. You put them on and you figure out who is the love of your life, the person who doesn't be with her ever. It became compulsory so everybody knows who they're supposed to be with until you have Maggie who two years ago had her father stolen away from her by this corporation and she is so upset and she wants revenge. So she starts this plan where she's going to capture Quinton Mercer the son of the man he made this huge corporation and get her revenge. Yeah I'm like recommending every single book but hey they're all good especially this next one. I love it so much. This entire series is fantastic. It is not only like really diverse and amazing. It is kind of like a sci-fi slash dystopia. I don't even know what to put it under but I think it is mostly sci-fi but it's still amazing and that is Cinder by Marissa Meyer. You guys have probably heard about this book before. It is The Learner Chronicles and it is amazing. So first of all you have Lynn Cinder who is a cyborg and life for her is pretty rough. She has a stepmom who hates her, stepsisters that are the greatest except for one who is really nice and we really love her and she has her robot Ico because Cinder is a really good mechanic and she meets the handsome prince Kai and it changes her life. She's pretty much stuck in this battle between her desires and this evil queen that is also wanting to be with Kai and her evil mother and it is really intense and really good in the world-building and this is absolutely phenomenal. This book was the first one on my list when I did this video last year and it is now third and it is still amazing but that one is The Life of Nevilating Go by Patrick Ness. This is book one in the Chaos Walking trilogy and I still love this book so much. The characters are amazing and the plot line is too. So in it you have a town that is called Printers Town where there is no women and just men who can hear every single thought that each of them have and then you have the young boy called Todd who is about to get initiated as a complete person in this town when he finds out the deadly secret they are keeping and it finds that him and his dog Manchi are now on the run for their lives. It is just such an amazing book and I loved everything about it especially Manchi. So we have two books, two books and I have to build a wall between them to put them into first and second place and in second place we have Ashes by Ilta J. Bick. So you have the main character who is Alex and she is hiking through these woods when all of a sudden there's huge electromagnetic pulse just goes through the city and three things happen to the people who are living and the first thing is that they just die which is kind of the lucky ones. Secondly you develop a superhuman power strength sort of thing or thirdly you develop the taste for human flesh and so I think I know which one I would prefer out of those three. So Alex is trying to survive and she runs into a guy called Tom who's a young army veteran and a young girl called Ellie and they just do their best but a lot of this is trying to figure out who you're supposed to trust in this world and how to actually survive it. Okay guys we now have the first place for my top 10 YA dystopian books slash fantasy slash paranormal slash fantasy because yeah it's you know you anyway um this one is pretty much a zombie post-apocalyptic book because it could happen. I mean we had that bar salts in Florida once so who knows what's gonna happen right? Is this thing working? Yes it is okay guys I have just come back from the future in fact four years in the future and I'm here to tell you guys that it is going to be okay as long as we stand up tall stay strong and fight for our beliefs and what we believe is right okay. Do not give up and do not give in just stay proud of who you are and what you want in life and I'm also here to tell you guys about this book because my camera totally didn't cut out until all of my footage. This is number one of my YA dystopian books. It is pretty much a post-apocalyptic books with zombies and you follow a group of kids who are pretty much moving from one camp to the middle of London but the twist here is that everyone over the age of 14 has turned into zombies and are trying to kill these children so do not get attached to these characters because I guarantee that all of them will be safe. Thank you guys for watching my top 10 YA dystopian books. I know that some of these aren't all dystopia but like I said I'm going with Goodreads so don't need to offend anyone with my comments on here or the books that I have chosen. Thank you guys for watching and hopefully you guys have a lovely bookish day and like great things happen to you.
