I just read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel , and it’s living rent free in my brain.
It was such a powerful book in so many ways. I loved the way the different storylines and characters were tied together, some intricately and some just loosely, as well as the multiple perspectives, timelines, and storylines.
I believe it was originally suggested to me as a book similar to the TV show LOST(2004-2010) and it did satisfy that quite well.
Other books that I have read and enjoyed in a similar vein include:
- The Silo trilogy by High Howey ( Wool, Shift, and Dust)
- Wayward Pines series by Blake Crouch (Pines, Wayward, and The Last Town)
- Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh
- MaddAddam Trilogy by Margaret Atwood (Oryx & Crake, the Year of the Flood, and MaddAddam)
Does anyone have any book suggestions for something similar I should look for?
Thanks!
The Years of Rice and Salt by Kim Stanley Robinson is an alternate history about if a plague had wiped out 90% of the European population before the renaissance and how the would could have shaken out instead, focusing primarily on Arabic and Chinese culture.
It follows a small group of people who are reincarnating through the ages, all the way up to modern times. It’s an amazing novel, and very approachable if you’re even vaguely into history.
Ooh, this one definitely sounds like it’s right up my alley. I love alternate history, and reincarnation stories. Thank you very much!
I hope you like it! KSR’s whole collection is worth a read; he’s my favorite living author.
