TOP 10 YA CROSSOVER SFF BOOKS

If you want to dip your toe in with something that's maybe shorter than some of these longer series, I would recommend Every Heart a Doorway or the Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire.

I think this book does that kind of trope very well because a lot of people hear that and they're like, "Oh, that's just very typical." It's not. It's really good.

So, if you want kind of like that fast-paced space romp dystopian feel, but it gets less dystopian feeling later on kind of, then I would recommend this one for sure.

The first book is not fun. I actually like really did not like the first book, but everyone told me to keep pushing through and I love the second two books.

If you're trying to get away from that, this has light on the romance and is just a really interesting look at a female leader, but also somebody who's trying to come into their own who is kept away from a lot of the political machinations, so you're sort of learning along with her if you're trying to kind of get into political intrigue. And you also have a really compelling villain in here as well.

I think this is a really good crossover book because again this author writes in middle grade YA and adult and I do find that I feel like a lot of her adult books read more like YA anyway.
