    I haven’t read any of Patrick Ness’ work yet but I really hope to soon! I’d love to win this giveaway, the paperbacks are gorgeous!

    Oh but I just got so excited I forgot to answer the Rafflecopter question – my favorite dystopian book is Divergent but for a series overall, the Legend trilogy by Marie Lu is flawless. Plus I really liked The Young World by Chris Weitz.

    I haven’t read anything from Patrick Ness but I will next month since More Than This is on my August TBR pile. I totally can’t wait!!! EEEP. And my favorite YA dystopian novel would be The Hunger Games!!! <3

    My fave is an oldie but a goodie, Lord of the Flies. “Kill the pig, spill his blood!”

  • Courtney

    I love Patrick Ness! Every single thing he’s written!

  • Sarah C.

    This is probably a rather cliche answer, but The Hunger Games is my favorite dystopian novel/series and actually one of my favorite series in all categories. It also got me started on reading YA.
    I have never read anything by Patrick Ness, but these books sound quite interesting and I would love a chance to win them! Thanks!

  • Samantha

    My favorite is that oldie but goodie, The Giver. A lot of recent dystopian fiction has really disappointed me with its excessive focus on romance and angst, unfortunately, and I always return to Lois Lowry’s masterpiece for an model of world-building, characterization, and moral conundrums. I haven’t read Patrick Ness’s Chaos Walking series yet, but I recently loved his amazing The Monster Calls (I cried three times).

    Ness is brilliant! I’ve only read the first book from my library and since they dont have the other 2 books and the other stores aren’t in stock, I’m dying to know what happens in The Ask! :3

    Thanks for the givaway! ^_^

  • Laura Willis

    I would love to have a set of these for my school library.

    Yikes! I commented before I read the instructions. Right now, my favorite is Divergent, but that can change at any time.

  • Megha

    I have loved the Cinder series and recently started Divergent and been loving that too.

    The Chaos Walking trilogy, obviously.

  • Alix E. Harrow
    July 26, 2014 at 7:09 am

    Ummmmmm–Lord of the Flies, and the Giver.

  • Julia
    July 26, 2014 at 7:36 am

    Divergent and for middle grade (fantasy) The Unwanteds.

  • Sarah K.
    July 26, 2014 at 7:48 am

    I’ve never read an ending of a dystopian series that I have actually liked so I tend to stay clear of dystopian, but I’ve heard good things about this series so maybe it will be my favorite dystopian.

  • Katy
    July 26, 2014 at 7:49 am

    My Favorite YA is Pretties, Uglies, Specials, Extras series by Scott Westerfield. Deals with big image issues of being a teenager

  • Jordan
    July 26, 2014 at 8:00 am

    This is SUCH a good trilogy.

  • Mawa Mahima
    July 26, 2014 at 8:22 am

    So sad it’s not available for UK residents! 🙁
    But then again, I’ve read them all, LOVED them all, and own a copy of More Than This! So I’m possibly not the person who needs persuading that Ness is the most awesome YA author ever!

  • Tammy
    July 26, 2014 at 8:56 am

    My favorite YA dystopian is probably whatever the last one I finished and really enjoyed which in this case is The Young World by Chris Weitz.

  • Katie M
    July 26, 2014 at 9:34 am

    This trilogy is actually my favorite. I’d love to read More Than This!

  • Emilia
    July 26, 2014 at 9:40 am

    I’m not a big reader of dystopian, but Chaos Walking is on my to read list.

  • Lexi
    July 26, 2014 at 10:28 am

    This has been on my TBR list forever. I look forward to reading it.

  • liz
    July 26, 2014 at 10:40 am

    My favorite would have to be my first dystopian novel, The Giver!

  • Nicole Ramcharan
    July 26, 2014 at 11:15 am

    The Chaos Walking trilogy is my definite fav!

  • Meredith G

    I haven’t read any dystopians lately. Thanks for the giveaway.

  • Caley
    July 26, 2014 at 12:44 pm

    My favourite YA dystopia is probably The Hunger Games, but I also adore the Chaos Walking trilogy.

  • Laura Hartman
    July 26, 2014 at 12:50 pm

    Hunger Games is the first that comes to mind, Divergent is on my list of “to reads”. Now Patrick Ness’ books are going on my Goodreads shelf also!

  • Ruby
    July 26, 2014 at 1:03 pm

    My favorite dystopian novels (because I can’t choose just one) are The Giver, Lord of the Flies, and The Handmaid’s Tale.

  • Christine
    July 26, 2014 at 1:27 pm

    Favorite YA dystopian novel? Such a hard one! I might have to go with The Giver, which had the one of the largest impacts on my childhood. I’m a huge fan of the heartbreaking realism of Shipbreaker as well.

    Thanks so much for the giveaway!

    It’s hard to pick my favorite YA dytopian of all time — I’d have to go back and reread the ones I loved in high school… But my favorite of the recent crop is probably still the Hunger Games.

  • Valerie
    July 26, 2014 at 1:48 pm

    Not necessarily my favorite, but I really liked In the After. I haven’t read the sequel yet though.

  • Christopher
    July 26, 2014 at 1:58 pm

    This is pretty awesome. Patrick Ness is my favorite author. Favorite dystopian would easily be Chaos Walking (…well, possibly More Than This), though in the interest of getting more book recommendations out there Fahrenheit 451 is very poetic and poignant, especially (but of course not only) for book-lovers.

  • jennie t
    July 26, 2014 at 2:27 pm

    Favorites are hard to choose, but The Giver will always be at the top of the list.

  • Chenise J.
    July 26, 2014 at 3:03 pm

    I still have to read the last book but I absolutely love Ashes and Shadows by Ilsa J. Bick!

  • Kate K.F.
    July 26, 2014 at 3:55 pm

    This is a tricky question but I think my favorite dystopian YA novel is Ship Breaker. Ness is high on my list of authors I want to read.

  • Kelley
    July 26, 2014 at 5:00 pm

    My favorite currently would probably be The 5th Wave. . . But this series has been on my list to try for awhile

  • Marie-Claude
    July 26, 2014 at 5:12 pm

    I love the Hunger Games and Poison Princess (by Kresley Coles).

  • Leah

    This would be a great contest to win! Thanks!

  • Alyssa L.
    July 26, 2014 at 6:28 pm

    I haven’t read anything by Patrick Ness yet, but he’s perpetually on my to-read list! As for my favorite YA dystopian novel…I haven’t read much dystopian YA beyond the gateway drugs of The Hunger Games and Divergent (much preferred the former to the latter), but I really liked Moira Young’s Blood Red Road, which was kind of…post-apocalyptic agrarian dust bowl western dystopia? XD

  • Cassy
    July 26, 2014 at 6:41 pm

    I like the giver.

  • Tina
    July 26, 2014 at 7:23 pm

    I have to agree with many other commenters and say my all-time favorite dystopian is The Giver.

  • Kimberly B.
    July 26, 2014 at 7:46 pm

    Actually, Ness’s Chaos Walking is a favorite of mine already. But I also really enjoy Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies series. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  • erinf1
    July 26, 2014 at 9:00 pm

    this series sounds fantastic! Thanks so much for the spotlight! I’d have to say I’m a Divergent fan 🙂

  • Kate & Zena
    July 26, 2014 at 9:25 pm

    The Cinder series and the Hunger Games have been my favorite.

  • maidenveil
    July 26, 2014 at 10:45 pm

    Hunger Games.

  • Sandy
    July 26, 2014 at 11:14 pm

    I haven’t read TOO many YA dystopian novels but some of my favorites include The Hunger Games and Enclave by Ann Aguirre. Thank you again for this fantastic giveaway!

  • Meghan
    July 27, 2014 at 12:29 am

    I saw someone else mention “Blood Red Road” which I really loved. I also enjoyed The Maze Runner series…and, of course, Hunger Games! I have wanted to read Patrick Ness forever. Winning his books would be a perfect excuse 😉

  • Chelsea B.
    July 27, 2014 at 2:27 am

    Shatter Me series!

  • Amanda Griggs
    July 27, 2014 at 2:39 am

    There are so many to choose from, but I’d say The Giver.

  • Liat
    July 27, 2014 at 2:48 am

    I don’t think I read any YA dystopian novel other than the Hunger Games (or maybe I just don’t remember. It’s not my favorite genre).

  • Nichole
    July 27, 2014 at 9:38 am

    I enjoy reading YA novels. I have really enjoyed the Divergent Series by Veronica Roth and Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. I would love to read a new series since I am between books right now.

  • Mindy Dai
    July 27, 2014 at 11:35 am

    Hate dystopian. The recent offerings are just way to cliche for my taste. The closest I’ve liked something was the Incarnate series.

  • Grace
    July 27, 2014 at 1:57 pm

    The Hunger Games

  • Eddie Louise
    July 27, 2014 at 4:02 pm

    OMG!! I Love these books. Patrick Ness is one of the few authors that start me fan-girling!!

  • Lindsay Elizabeth
    July 27, 2014 at 5:24 pm

    Under the Never Sky is probably my favorite dystopia. I wasn’t expecting it, but it really won me over.

  • Rachel G
    July 27, 2014 at 5:57 pm

    The Chaos Walking trilogy is actually in my all time favourites – I’d love to own copies. The new ones are so pretty!

    The Legend series by Marie Lu is pretty great, and I loved All Our Yesterdays by Cristin Terrill as well.

  • Jacqui
    July 27, 2014 at 7:38 pm

    Would love to win this!

  • elena
    July 27, 2014 at 9:52 pm

    I think my favorite YA dystopia is actually the Chaos Walking series!!

  • MK
    July 27, 2014 at 10:09 pm

    Have to go with The Giver — it blew my mind the first time I read it in middle school, and has stuck with me ever since.

  • Kristin
    July 27, 2014 at 10:23 pm

    Individual book, definitely The Giver. Series, probably the Uglies. Can’t wait to try these books!

  • nikki @ book punks
    July 28, 2014 at 7:10 am

    Too question…recently read a pretty good one called Paradigm by Ceri Lowe. But from what my good friend keeps telling me, this one is going to take over as a favorite IMMEDIATELY.

  • Angie J
    July 28, 2014 at 9:15 am

    I love the Chaos Walking trilogy! Definitely my favorite dystopian series.

  • Katrina
    July 28, 2014 at 9:51 am

    I really loved Monica Hughes as a kid, and I think Devil on My Back was my very favourite.

  • Trinity
    July 28, 2014 at 10:24 am

    This giveaway is amazing! 🙂
    These books have always had such an interesting plot!

  • Trinity
    July 28, 2014 at 10:26 am

    My favorite dystopian series would have to be the Shatter Me series! I have a feeling these books will be one of my favorites as well!

  • Courtney Whisenant
    July 28, 2014 at 12:01 pm

    The Chaos Walking trilogy is my favorite YA dystopian series!!! 🙂

  • Kaethe
    July 28, 2014 at 1:12 pm

    Hmm, Chaos Walking, Hunger Games, Smoke & Bone: all three are anti-war dystopian, so I’m going to have to mention all three as my faves. Young people decreasing conflict is apparently my jam.

  • Jen D.
    July 28, 2014 at 2:40 pm

    I gotta go with The Hunger Games on this one. Thanks for the amazing giveaway!

  • Serena
    July 28, 2014 at 4:22 pm

    The Giver has always been my favorite dystopia. But I enjoyed the Chaos Walking trilogy immensely!

  • Justine
    July 28, 2014 at 6:48 pm

    The Hunger Games trilogy is my favorite. The Giver was previously my favorite.

  • Maurice
    July 28, 2014 at 8:58 pm

    My favorite dystopian is probably Divergent, Legend, or The Darkest Minds.

  • Charlee
    July 28, 2014 at 9:12 pm

    The Hunger Games, Divergent, the Razorland Trilogy by Ann Aguire, and the uglies!

  • Shae McDaniel
    July 28, 2014 at 10:14 pm

    Oooh, awesome giveaway! Thanks!

    Favorite dystopian… hmmmm… Is it too lame to go with the classic Hunger Games answer? Because those were great. I’d also say the Never Sky trilogy as well, though I’m not sure if that’s really dystopian or just sci-fi/post-apoc.

  • Angie
    July 28, 2014 at 10:16 pm

    Been DYING to read these books. Heard such amazing things.

    My favorite dystopian is probably Unwind by Neal Shusterman.

  • Kierra
    July 28, 2014 at 10:32 pm

    I REALLY loved The Fifth Wave. There are many others, but I can’t think of them right now.

  • Sadie-Ann
    July 28, 2014 at 11:28 pm

    I’m going to have to go with the not very original answer of The Giver (although I also love Legend for YA). Probably because it was the first real dystopian I read. (My adult favorite is Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde)

  • Nona
    July 29, 2014 at 12:23 am

    I did love the Chaos Walking books quite a lot and More Than This was also wonderful.

    Beyond those I really like Blood Red Road, but haven’t read the rest in that series.

  • Sabrina
    July 29, 2014 at 2:45 pm

    I liked The Fifth Wave quite a bit; it was something different than a lot of the other recent dystopians I’ve read.

  • Beverly H.
    July 29, 2014 at 3:48 pm

    My favorite dystopian series would be the Hunger Games series.

    I haven’t read any of Patrick Ness’s books yet, but they sound like great reads 🙂

  • Vivien

    July 29, 2014 at 7:01 pm

    Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway! I’m really excited to give Ness’ books a try.
    As for your question, I’m going to be really boring and predictable and say The Hunger Games. I still think that YA dystopians published use it as a means of comparison, and for good reason. It reinvigorated familiarity of the genre and it just a well-done series in its own right.

  • Jennifer @ A Librarian's Library
    July 29, 2014 at 8:36 pm

    My favorite YA dystopia would probably be Partials by Dan Wells. I just really enjoyed that trilogy a lot. I have been wanting to pick up Ness’s The Knife of Never Letting Go for a really long time, so I would love to have the whole trilogy!

  • Mara
    July 29, 2014 at 10:25 pm

    Well besides The Hunger Games…. probably Susan Ee’s Penryn & The End of the Days series, with Angelfall and World After currently out right now.

  • Jenna
    July 31, 2014 at 1:30 am

    My favorite YA dystopian novel is The Giver

  • Vesper

    My favorite YA Dystopian? Susan Ee’s “Angelfall”

  • Kaylie
    July 31, 2014 at 5:00 pm

    Of course I’m a huge fan of The Hunger Games and Divergent but I also love The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken and Legend by Marie Lu.

  • C. Parrella
    July 31, 2014 at 5:37 pm

    I really liked Divergent! Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  • Kayla

    And in answer to the question, my fave dystopian novel is ‘Oryx and Crake’ by Margaret Atwood.
