What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I really like books in which there is a rebellion (with the main character being on the rebellion side). I also like it when the main character is female, but that isn't a necessity (yes I googled how to spell that). Also political schemes are definitely (googled that too) a big plus.

I really liked:

Rebel of the Sands (and Traitor to the Throne of course)

Red Queen

The Young Elites

The Orphan Queen

The Final Empire
Inside Out
The Hunger Games

The Captive series by Erica Stevens. Vampires rule, and humans are the rebels.

The Book of Night Women
Resistance: A French Woman's Journal of the War
Native Tongue
In the Time of the Butterflies

Here's a bunch of YA books with that theme. The series often don't get into the rebellion part until the end of book one.

Red Rising
Legend
Delirium
The Testing
Uglies
Eve
Revolution 19
Matched
Article 5

Steelheart

Promise of Blood by Brian McClellan - "Flintlock fantasy" in which a general overthrows his country's monarchy.
The Dread Empire's Fall trilogy by Walter Jon Williams (first book The Praxis) has the protagonists initially facing a rebellion/coup/civil war, but later the female lead takes charge of an insurgency against the opposing side when they take control of the capital.

Never heard of those books before, but they sound great. Thank you!

Wyatt's Hurricane has a rebellion on a Caribbean island that is taking place during a hurricane. It's dated (it was written back in the mid-1960's) but gives a realistic feel for the time.

Germinal

Court of Fives by Kate Elliott
Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
The Bone Doll Twin by Lyn Flewelling

All three are trilogies, and the rebellions don't tend to start in book 1.

Andra
Dark Parties
R Is for Rebel

Divergent

The Shadow Children series by Margaret Peterson Haddix. It starts with Among the Hidden. It's YA, though, and the main character is a boy.

The Hermit Thrush Sings

I thought The Kiss of Deception was really good and it has a rebellion in it but with a slight twist.

Trickster's Choice by Tamora Pierce

Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes Johnny Tremain

The Spy Princess
female protag and a lot of political scheming, ya and fantasyish though

Stormdancer

The Secret Under My Skin

Before She Ignites
Michael Vey: The Electric Collection
Just Ella
The Barcode Tattoo
Wake Up Missing

Frank Herbert the Dune series, if you feel like a bit of classic sf

Rebel Seoul
