Top Ten Tuesday: Best Sequels Ever

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, and this week is all about the top ten best sequels! This was a hard list to put together because I've started so many series, but the list of series where I've actually continued onto the sequels is pretty small. Must get on that! Anyway, here's the best of the bunch from those I actually have gotten round to reading:


1. Catching Fire (The Hunger Games, #2) by Suzanne Collins
This is my favourite book in the trilogy by far. I loved what they did with the arena in this one and the new characters we get to meet. I'm SO excited to see the film later this year as well.
Goodreads|My Review


2. Prodigy (Legend, #2) by Marie Lu
It had been a while since I'd read Legend when I picked up Prodigy so I was kind of nervous about getting back into the world, but not only did I find myself hooked again, the story just blew me away. And after that ending I am so freaking exciting (and a bit terrified) to read Champion!

3. Dare You To (Pushing the Limits, #2) by Katie McGarry
I LOVED Beth's character in this. I mean Pushing the Limits was awesome, but this took it to a whole new level of awesome. And hello amazing chemistry <3 oh and RYAN. How could I forget Ryan? <3
Goodreads|My Review


4. The Madness Underneath (Shades of London, #2) by Maureen Johnson
I was SO nervous to read this book because the reviews I'd seen had been mixed, but I loved it with all my heart.
Goodreads|My Review


5. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Harry Potter, #6) by J. K Rowling
My favourite Harry Potter book! I think it's mainly because of Harry and Ginny (and Ginny in general) but I've always had a huge soft spot for this one and I re-read it more than any of the other books.
Goodreads




6. As You Wake (In Your Dreams, #2) by Amy Martin
I love it when I love a sequel more than the first book. Now that I had fully established myself in the world I could lose myself even more in the exciting book and great characters.
Goodreads|My Review

7. Geekhood: Mission Improbable (Geekhood, #2) by Andy Robb
When the second book makes you laugh even more than the first, you know you are on to a winner. Plus this one had scenes in York which is where I'm from so that made it even more impressive.
Goodreads|My Review


8. City of Glass (The Mortal Instruments, #3) by Cassandra Clare
This is still my favourite book in the series and the one that turned me into a fangirl. I remember finishing this and having all the feels.
Goodreads


9. Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein
I don't know if this really counts as a sequel because it stands on it's own, but it does follow on from Code Name Verity time wise and it's SO GOOD that I want to include it.
Goodreads


10. Model Misfit by Holly Smale
This is where I'm a massive tease (SORRY!) because this book doesn't come out until this week, but it was just as amazing as the first book and it's fresh in my mind having just finished it, so it makes the list!

    Model Misfit was definitely a fantastic sequel! I loved it too! I really need to get around to reading Prodigy soon since Champion is out this year. I'm even more excited to read it now :D
    Great list!

    1. Yay! I see a lot of mixed opinions about Catching Fire but I think some of the ideas in it were just brilliant. And Katie McGarry has become one of my favourite writers! I can't wait to read Crash Into You because I'm hearing great things about it already :D Oh I hope you enjoy Prodigy too! Thank you for the lovely comment :D

  3. Yay, Rose Under Fire! I didn't put it on my list, because of the sequel/companion book thing, but I love that book so much. And I really liked The Madness Underneath too, although THAT ENDING.

  7. We might be nemeses, cause I'm kind of a Ginny hater! LOL I had Azkaban on my list this week, but the only HP book I don't think was on par with the rest was Deathly Hallows. Also, HELL YES to Catching Fire! My fave book in the series too and I think it's the best one, honestly. Great list! :)

    1. Boooo! (Kidding! :P) I know Ginny is one of those characters that really divides opinion so I can totally understand. Prisoner of Azkaban would probably be my 2nd favourite HP book but choosing between them really is like choosing between children! <3 the only one I don't like as much as the others is Chamber of Secrets. And woo for Catching Fire! :D Thank you for your comment! :)
