Dystopian
"The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" by Suzanne Co
A prequel to The Hunger Games, this novel explores the origin story of Coriolanus Snow—decades before he becomes the notorious president. Set during the 10th Hunger Games, the book dives into moral complexity, power dynamics, and the slow decay of a once-promising young man. A chilling character study with echoes of classic tragedy.

"Shatter Me" by Tahereh Mafi
Juliette’s touch is deadly—literally. She’s spent her life isolated, until a dystopian regime wants to use her as a weapon. Blending poetic narration with romance and rebellion, the book kicks off a dramatic series filled with power struggles and emotional trauma. It evolves from dystopia into something more superhero-like in later books.
