Waiting On Wednesday (45) Upcoming Dystopian Fiction Sequels

A lot of the dystopian lit coming out these days is in the form of series books, usually trilogies, but sometimes even longer (6 books? Michael Grant? Really?).


And it can be FUN to follow a series, but it can also be frustrating to have to wait so long between books.

Which ones I am inpatiently waiting for?

Let’s start with the ones I gave 5 zombie chickens to.

I loved Maria V Snyder’s INSIDE OUT (read my review) so I am ridiculously excited for OUTSIDE IN, coming March 2011. And it even has a cover already. Looks like more “fun” in the pipes for Trella and Riley.

I also gave the first book in Jasper Fforde’s SHADES OF GREY trilogy the ultimate rating (read my review), so was very saddened to hear that the second book SHADES OF GREY 2: PAINTING BY NUMBERS, won’t be out until 2014! That’s just torture!

Mary E. Pearson’s THE ADORATION OF JENNA FOX was also one of my recent favorites (read my review), and word is on the street, her companion novel THE FOX INHERITANCE is due for publication in fall 2011.

And the rest...

I think the second book in Justin Cronin’s THE PASSAGE series (read my review of the first) is due in 2011. I hope!

A little tidbit about the sequel to Caragh O’Brien’s sequel to BIRTHMARKED (read my review), due 2011, that I gleaned from a thread over on GoodReads, “It's definitely another dystopia where the environment has a huge impact on the society. It begins about two weeks after Birthmarked ends.” Oooh!

Teri Hall’s sequel to THE LINE (read my review), is called AWAY and will be released in 2011. Rachel’s adventure continues when she crosses into the mysterious territory known as Away.

Neal Shusterman has inked a deal for the sequel of UNWIND (read my review) to be called UNWHOLLY and to be released in 2012.

In case you are wondering, I covered Robin Wasserman’s SKINNED series and James Dashner’s THE MAZE RUNNER series in my Feb sequel preview.

That’s all for now! What dystopian sequels are you most looking forward to?
