Best Series: Trilogies
Inspired by
Best Series
, but strictly limited to series that are designed as trilogies.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
☞ NO GENRE LIMITATION as long as the series is a trilogy.
☞ NOT including series with works set in the same universe yet not exactly related to one another and happened to have 3 books in total.
☞ NOT including series with plans of more installments yet only have 3 books due to the death of its author; e.g.: The Millennium series.
☞ NOT including a piece of work that got split into 3 volumes; e.g.: The Lord of the Rings.
☞ Trilogies with prequels, sequels, companion books, short stories, novellas; as long as the core series is in fact a trilogy, are acceptable for this list.
☞ Each first book of the trilogy (#1) REPRESENTS its entire trilogy.¹
☞ PLEASE make sure you checked the entire list before adding new books to verify what you wanted to add isn't in fact already listed; having duplicates is tiresome.
☞ PLEASE TRY to add the edition with the book cover that's most easily recognized.²
☞ PLEASE TRY to only add books from completed trilogies.³
☞ PLEASE DO NOT add titles that aren't the first book of the series or prequels such as #0.5.¹
☞ PLEASE DO NOT add box sets; as to avoid duplicates.¹
☞ PLEASE DO NOT add works that are comics, graphic novels, manga, manhwa, manhua, or any other works similar to those types.
Friendly reminder: PLEASE, PLEASE JUST THE FIRST BOOK OF THE SERIES.
----
¹ This is really just to simplified the list: Not all trilogies have box sets editions, and trying to decide how to rank books within the same trilogies adds unnecessary complication; people need to focus on ranking which trilogies they like the best, and NOT which book of which trilogies they like the best; there is a difference. You may not think highly of the first book of the trilogy you are overall very fond of, but remember, you won't be voting for that book, you are voting for it because it represents the trilogy as a whole.
² The one that'd show up during search result; using rare editions may result in the same title being overlooked and duplicated.
³ Things don't always go according to plan; what was originally planned as trilogies may end up having more books in the end, and therefore no longer being trilogies.

I just ordered them all and there was definitely 4 so its not a trilogy.


Hmmm, I would consider The Kill Order to be in the "prequel set" along with The Fever Code because the main story line of The Maze Runner series is The Maze Runner Trilogy (make sense? xP) which are the three main and first books; TMR, TST, and TDC. The Kill Order and The Fever Code are the 0.5 and 0.6 in the series respectively, which don't count as the series MAIN storyline, which only consists of 3 books.

¹ representing cover
² the probably more recognizable set
³ default cover
⁴ other
(view spoiler)[
Shatter Me | Divergent








Legend | Daughter of Smoke & Bone








The Orphan | Reckoners








The Hollow | The Timeless Land








Dust Lands | The Famished Road









Thornhill Family | House of Earth









The Karla | The Snopes








The Deptford | Ibis








The Demon's Lexicon | New Zealand Wars

While it certainly seemed that there's 3 books featuring same characters, the fact that the description provided on Goodreads was worded as below, indicates it is not actually a trilogy (also looked up the books, and they weren't officially referred to as a trilogy either)
Although following different characters, there is some overlap of supporting characters.

* Librarians are able to check for duplicates quite easily.
* 'Rare' covers strongly depends on which edition is sold is which country (and not all of us are living in the US), not to mention the date of publication.
* Adding just the first book of a trilogy when one has the full trilogy in one cover on one's shelves is possible, of course, but not as easily done as just picking the full edition on one's own shelves.

Booklovinglady wrote: "Librarians are able to check for duplicates quite easily."
Idk if this happens to everyone, but I do know that the few times I used the "check for duplicates" function, all it does was automatically removed the supposed duplicate without even letting the user know just what exactly was deleted; how that is consider a good thing is beyond my comprehension. I'd rather people pay attention to what they are voting instead of relying on a system that doesn't clearly indicate what was removed.

When a librarian checks for duplicates, the votes for the duplicate edition are combined with the votes for the original book, as far as I know, so the votes are not lost (which is why it is not necessary to let the voter know a particular edition was removed for being a duplicate). It might take a while for the votes to be combined though (assuming the editions are combined properly, of course), so it might not always be visible straight away. With large, not to say huge, Listopia's the duplicates check comes in very handy, as it is nearly impossible for voters to check whether or not their books are already on such lists.

Thank you SO MUCH for letting me know about this! I really did have panic attacks the few times I used the function and just decided I did not care for the anxiety it brought me lol. The only problem would be that since I wouldn't know what items were merged, I wouldn't know how many votes were supposedly merged, and therefore wouldn't be able to verify if it adds up correctly anyways; but knowing that the function was at least designed that way does help a lot. Thanks again!

I never verify, I just trust GR to do its job properly :-)


There already are similar lists for duologies:

https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/9...

byeol wrote: "With the recent rising trend with authors publishing duologies instead of trilogies (or longer series)... Anyone up for creating a similar list for duologies? :)"
Ahaha! Thanks for bringing this up! I had thought about this, and was debating whether it should be creating one for either duology or tetralogy (and eventually pentalogy) once this list reach one-year-old (which is soon, dang, time flies!) I was leaning towards tetralogy because I feel like, with one less book, people may be more tempted to add the second book onto the hypothetical list (for duology), which is something I personally don't want lol, for like my reasoning here, it'd just add unnecessary complication and distract people from ranking according to series as whole. (continued below)
Booklovinglady wrote: "[...] There already are similar lists for duologies: [...]"
Thanks for bringing this up!!! =D When I started this list, I knew there were existing lists about trilogies lying around (heck, I've left a couple of comments to some of them, hoping to get people to vote here; not gonna deny it) I did it because most of them consist of having all 3 books in trilogies being voted, and I feel that, in a way, that's just how some people would prefer (I just wasn't one of those people), so it seemed like a good idea to simply create a stricter list.
Now for duology... gah... idk. Personally, I think the 3rd one you shared ( www.goodreads.com/list/show/97046 ) looks like it could be shaped into a sister list to this one quite easily... (out of the 3, that is. Though I think I am seeing some books that has a "companion" relationship with another book, but not necessarily being sequentially duologies) Problem is I'm unable to see the creator's profile and unable to PM the person for her consent, and I'm not obnoxious enough to just go and change the title while adding a bunch of descriptions to the list (that would just be rude... oh gawd.) But I do think that, unlike the situation I had with trilogies, reforming an existing list seems more ideal, but that could just be me.
So um, I guess what I'm trying to say is, should anyone be able to contact the creator and is on-board enough to go ask her about it, and actually getting her to agree; I'm all up for it! If not, I would also support whoever that's willing to create a new one to set the same rules (not to be egotistic, but I AM flattered and honored that the question was brought up here). As in, byeol, if you do create one, feel free to let me know and I'll add the link to this list's description and even vote for the ones I read (not much, at this point).

Don't 'reform' an existing list.... Librarians are there to help you if you think a book that's on list shouldn't be there and they can remove it for you, if they agree. If a list is not exactly to your liking, create a new one but don't change an already existing one.
"and was debating whether it should be creating one for either duology or tetralogy..."
There's a list with tetralogies as well:
https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/4...
Just use the 'search lists' option top right of this page and see what comes up.

I am a librarian myself... I was referring to the act of editing a list (tags, instructions etc.) besides adding new items, those changes minor or not need to be discussed with the list's creator. I was adding my input that, yes, there are lists for duologies, but much like what I encountered with trilogies, not many of them have clarified what's to be voted. If byeol is looking for a list like this one, but for duology, there's the option of either a new one made from scratch to save the trouble of negotiation, or some sort of communication still needs to happen.
Because from what I see, those 3 lists aren't exactly like this one. (Yes, they are similar, but not the same.) The goal is to NOT change a list before getting the consent of the creator (and it's not like it's some major changes), and should the creator relent, then there should be no problem, and if not, I'm not gonna die or still force it upon the list either lol. I just thought there was no harm in asking, a potential killing 2 birds with 1 stone.
Same goes to tetralogies. I kind of feel like at this point I should probably clarify that I do use the search function before forming those thoughts lol. My problem with it is the leeway of allowing omnibus volume. It's like you said, "If a list is not exactly to your liking, create a new one [...]" I contemplated on creating new ones because I didn't find lists close to what I personally prefer.

Hi there, yes, I'm aware there's a fourth book, but based on the blurb of the said book "The eagerly awaited addition to the series," it seemed like an add-on, an extra; if the original can stand alone as a trilogy, it's still a trilogy. I'm not saying The Last Survivors fits what I just described though, just that I remember seeing various statements about the 4th being apart, that's why I didn't remove it. I have not personally read the series so I could be totally wrong. May we get another two votes to be sure? Anybody who's read this, please pitch your thoughts! Thanks!

Because I don't know what exactly it is that's the factor of Goodreads' listopia displaying order, I'm gonna go with "the more books and the more people voting will get the list in a higher position". Assuming what I just wrote is correct, (I could be completely wrong), I'ma shamelessly add a bunch of books that fits the criteria and goal of this list, despite I personally am not interested in them. This is just to let this reach out to a wilder range of people through more books, if someone votes on my "extra" nominees, I'd then remove my vote since I didn't intend to vote for them.
Whatever that's after my first 6 votes; starting from #7 are listed according to the number of ratings they received. I've not read any of them and don't plan on doing so for most of them. Like I said, it is just in the hopes of getting this list to spread to more people; those are trilogies that I've seen enough times to remember their existences.
