Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Book trilogies that peak with the first book can frequently be letdowns because audiences get their hopes up based on the excitement and quality of the premiere novel. However, just because book one is the strongest, it doesn't mean the remaining works are bad. Often, it indicates just how good the trilogy's first novel is, and how effectively it draws readers into the story's world.

10 Divergent Trilogy Written by Veronica Roth Close There are harsh realities about the Divergent book series, as it pales in comparison to its better-received counterparts in the YA dystopian genre. However, it remains relatively popular and well-known, even if the story's internal logic falls flat. A large part of this is thanks to the first book, Divergent, which arguably tells a complete narrative by the novel's final page.

Each following novel is a protracted attempt to keep the reader from uncovering what they've known since the beginning; Lara Jean and Peter are going to end up together. Instead of letting them live out their romantic bliss after they commit at the end of To All The Boys I've Loved Before, new love interests are added, and conflicts arise that are significantly out of character for everyone involved.

7 Crescent City Series Written by Sarah J. Maas Author of the famed series, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Sarah J. Maas also penned the Crescent City Series. Though set against the backdrop of a fantasy world, the books delve heavily into their romantic plotlines, particularly that between the protagonist, Bryce Quinlan, and her partner-turned-love interest, Hunt Athalar.

What's happening to Thomas and the boys in the Glade is an experiment orchestrated by some unknown, all-powerful entity. Despite the lack of answers and hope, Thomas makes it his mission to get out of confinement and discover what lies beyond the walls. Though the author, James Dashner, wrote several prequel books within the series, the central trilogy features the same characters and setting.

The Broken Earth Series begins with The Fifth Season, a book that sets a dark and high-stakes tone. Essun is on a journey across the world just as it's ending to save her daughter in the wake of unbearable loss. It can be difficult to read The Fifth Season as Essun is an empathetic character who goes through so much. However, the series begins on such an intense and thrilling note, that it's difficult for the remaining books to capitalize on this momentum.
