Most Underrated Books and Book Series

The Top Ten
1 Lumatere Chronicles - Melina Marchetta

No one really ever reads it. The author, Melina Marchetta is probably the most underrated author of the decade. The lumatere is the greatest historical book in my opinion. Great plot, characters and settings.

2 Artemis Fowl - Eoin Colfer

Honestly, Artemis Fowl is so underrated…it's fast-paced with original ideas and brilliant characters. Awesome for a fantasy series with humour and wit.
The "Best Artemis Fowl Characters" list is barely used, there were only five comments when I last checked.

A riveting sci fi series starring one of the smartest and most complex protagonists ever

3 Evil Genius Series - Catherine Jinks

A great book trilogy, just behind the Artemis Fowl series. It's nerve-wracking, has lots of plot-twists and no grammatical or spelling errors.
By: Catherine Jinks

4 The Merchant of Death - D.J. Machale

I seem to almost never hear about the Pendragon series, which is unfair because it's both interesting and better than a lot of popular books.

5 Replica Series - Marilyn Kaye

A great series even if it is a tad bit short. It portrays the evil behind school doors and how cloning is possible. I started reading it when I was in 5th year and I only remembered it now.
By: Marilyn Kaye

6 The Capture - Kathryn Lasky
7 Starcrossed Series - Josephine Angelini

I think its underrated. I never saw it in trailers, and very little read them. This is the 3rd greek mythology-based book I've read and its really good. Highly recommended for teens and up.
By: Josephine Angelini

8 Mister Monday - Garth Nix
9 Time of the Eagle - Sheryl Jordan

Admit it, this book is not very famous. The reviewers only reviewed this book because the author previously wrote an award-winning book. Thankfully, some of the goodreaders have read this book and approved.

10 The Field Guide - Holly Black

The Newcomers

? The Lightning Thief - Rick Riordan
? Eragon - Christopher Paolini
The Contenders
11 Cassidy Jones Series - Elise Stokes

I absolutely love this book. When I first started using Kindle, the first thing that came up on the free section is this book so I started reading it. I found it very highly entertaining and I can't believe that its free even though its great. A debut book and I know that the author will have a very lively writing carreer.

12 The Akhenaten Adventure - Philip Kerr
13 Vampeen Chronicles - Christin Lovell

A new twist! It's not the everyday vampire story and I absolutely love the love triangle between the characters and Christin Lovell has some skills! Never seen anyone reading this and I always wonder why.
By : Christin Lovell

14 Psion Series - Jacob Gowans

Psion Beta, Gamma and Delta, I think are the best underrated series in the dystopian world. Even though I love Hunger games and Divergent, I can't resist the urge to list this one. Its action-packed, couple with romance, comedic and Sammy is witty even if he's a bit... Offensive sometimes

15 Fablehaven - Brandon Mull
16 Warrior Cats - Erin Hunter

You shouldn't judge a book by its cover. It may be about cats, but it has complex characters and made me cry once to be honest. My friends REFUSE to read it because of the cat part, but Warriors is an amazing series. Not the best, but it's up there on my favorite list.

I hate that people judge it because it's about cats. This book series is amazing and better than Harry Potter or all of those other idiotic books that people seem to like, like Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I swear, if you read this series, it'll change your life for the better.

This is the best series ever. Diary of a wimpy kid IS wimpy. This is the best series I have read ever book two times or more. There is NOTHING better than this series. GO WARRIORS!

17 The Alchemyst: The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel - Michael Scott
18 Cat Clan Series - C. L. Bevill

A very underrated Kindle book. Its about the feline weres and the fact that not all females are weak. The Harvest moon one earned a special place in my heart
By: C. L Bevill

19 The City of Ember - Jeanne Duprau
20 The Bad Beginning - Lemony Snicket
21 The Maze Runner Series - James Dasher

Amazing and underrated. I love this book series. One of the few book series that had my own vivid movies going on in my head as I read them without having seen the actually movies. I read it for hours everyday without getting bored. The Scorch Trials (the second book in the series) is one of my favourite books of all time. Definitely underrated and definitely recommended!

The maze runner books are incredible works of fiction. If you didn't like the movies, that's ok, because the books are definitely better. I would read the books before the movies if I were you. But the plot of the books are much different then the movies...

22 Wings Series - Aprilynne Pike

I just love fairies and Tamani! This is a great book and you may disagree about its popularity but I think its still underrated. It is well-written and the female may be stupid sometimes, but she can't be underestimated.
By: Aprilynne Pike

23 Frog and Toad are Friends - Arnold Lobel
24 A Series of Unfortunate Events - Lemony Snicket
25 Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children - Ransom Riggs

It's a great book series,combined with haunting pictures to go with the story.Awesome book that not many know about!
