Lotus War

Jay Kristoff, Lotus War series. First book is "Stormdancer", second one came out last month ("Kinslayer"). Dystopian Japanese steampunk- swordplay, gryphons, intrigue and treachery, multiple strong female characters. I have never read any steampunk and am not a fan of sci fi, but this series is very good!

Also- the third Divergent novel just came out. The second two books in the series are not anywhere near as good as the first one.

Another good YA one: Ann Aguirre, Enclave series. I've read the first two; the third one just came out and I have it on Kindle but haven't gotten to it yet because I was busy reading Kinslayer. ;)

Yeah, I started reading this before I dropped and broke my Kindle (waiting to get a new one). I thought what I read was really well-done and something different. I'm finding that YA is doing lots of interesting things with fantasy at the moment.

I don't think Lotus War is YA.... the other two series I mentioned are.

I heard it described as YA before, but I'm not up to date on what classifies as YA so I could me mistaking it for something else.
