With 13 amazing young novels to choose from, deciding which Marie Lu book to begin with is no easy feat. Honestly, there’s not a wrong choice among the bunch. And, naturally, a lot of your decision will rely on your personal reading taste. If you adore fantasy but feel “meh” about science fiction, you may prefer The Kingdom of Back over Warcross, for instance. Or, if you love DC comics or Batman, then by all means pick up Batman: Nightwalker first, even though I didn’t include it in my list. The three suggestions for where to start with Marie Lu that I did include, however, are a video game inspired YA story, an intricately fantastical historical story, and the dystopian blockbuster that started Lu’s writing career. Happy reading! Any of these three books are wondering places to start with Marie Lu. And, once you read one of the books on this list, I’m sure you will want to read all of them.
