Isabella | 30 comments Hi everyone! Lately I've been having a problem with finding a really good book. I'm looking for a book with action or adventure in it and characters like Day and June from the Legend series or any characters from Leigh Bardugo's books (Six of Crows and Ruin and Rising...). Also the Divergent series and The Hunger Games were two of my favorites. Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Isabella | 30 comments Oh, I forgot to add that I really cannot handle any more bad endings! So I would like to steer clear of them. Thanks!

Bad endings as in poorly written endings or bad endings as in sad endings?

If you like action/political intrigue/powers I think giving Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard a shot would be worth a try. It has a cligghanger ending but there are 3 books so far so you can read and enjoy... hope that helps!!
