There is something so nice about a trilogy. You get to spend some time with the characters, but endings don’t drag out. There is an opportunity for a few cliffhangers, but you know the resolution is right around the corner. Trilogies are a staple in publishing, especially YA books. Below, we are highlighting ten great trilogies for you to read. All of them are completed and (at least so far) the series has stopped with three. This isn’t a ranking, more of a celebration of ten different flavors of trilogies to try. 

• Mark of the Thief trilogy by Jennifer A. Nielsen- I also loved Nielsen’s Ascendence series, but that one was a case of thinking it was a trilogy until she released book four. The Mark of the Thief series combines history, adventure, mythology and magic.
  

• Simon Snow trilogy by Rainbow Rowell- Rowell, the author of Eleanor and Park and Fangirl, takes on the chosen one trope in her amazing trilogy. This book is filled with magic, monsters, kissing, and finding out if you can be the one to save the world.
  

• Serpent & Dove trilogy by Shelby Mahurin - When a witch and a huntsman cross paths, they realize they might have more in common than they thought. Namely, their enemies. This fantasy romance series is full of intrigue and magic.

• Lara Jean trilogy by Jenny Han- So many of the series listed are adventure and fantasy, but don’t forget about realistic romance series. Jenny Han has such a way with writing engaging characters, cute scenes and great chemistry. This is an adorable series, and if you already read it, you should also check out her Summer series.
