The topic says it all. But to be more specific, I want books with characters similar to Warner and maybe Kenji too. I DON'T want books similar to the series nor with characters like Juliette AND Adam who are Tstl beyond imagination. That's all. If you could help that be great ! Thanx.
;)

Have you read Altered( 1st book) and Erased (2nd book) by Jennifer Rush? You may like it.

what does tstl mean?

I would say maybe that Warner is Similar to Loki from the Switched series although he isnt in Book 1 only book 2 and 3

Switched

I believe it stands for "Too Stupid to Live"

I love how warner was a totaly rude in the beginning and then during the seires you see him as the open and sweet person. adam is sweet in the beginning but in the end he could be taotly rude. I love to met a boy like Warner in real life. If there's one out there ship him to me.

Would be great. :)

Open Minds By Susan Kaye Quinn..
Frost By Kate Avery Ellison
The Host By Stephanie Meyer

Warner is defiantly his own person. Hard to think about another book where there is a character like him. Warner is for sure my favorite character.

I think the Darkling from the Grisha Triology is pretty similar to Warner. They're obviosly very different but you get the same feeling when you read about the Darkling like when you read about Warner =)

I just purchased the shadow and bone book, let's see!

Oh I hope you'll like It!!

Oh. My. Gods.
The Grisha series is an absolute favourite of mine now. I can't believe how I survived in a world without the Darkling before. Gorgeous and devastating books, they were. Thanks so much!
Any other recommendations, anyone ??

I'M SO HAPPY YOU LIKED IT!! It is my favourite series too and I can't wait for Ruin and Rising! The Darkling forever <3

Cole is kind of like Warner. Good series!

Eternal Eden probably?
John (the baddie) is like Warner in the sense that he's sexy, attracted to/has feelings for Juliette and pretty much everyone hates him for being the head of an oppressive thingy (sorry, I just don't know what to call it)

Patrick Hayward is like Kenji due to his witty, sarcastic behavior- he's the comic relief of the book series. Patrick is so funny, I swear.

Bryn- Bryn and Juliette share a trait that I otherwise loathe- they're both unaware of how beautiful and amazing they are despite their incredible powers (and the amount of men after them)

Hope you give Eternal Eden a try! :)

Warner seems a lot like Lokesh from "Tiger's Curse" by Colleen Houk. Although he is way nicer than Lokesh. If you don't understand read Tiger's Curse, and you most likely will read the rest of the series, because once you read the first book you have to read the rest;)

me 2222!!!

@Leah I'm sorry but I did read the first two books of the Tiger's Saga and IM FROM INDIA and not to be rude, but it was pretty pathetic. I hear she goes on to be impregnated and I just ugh no. I'm glad it worked out for you tho, =)

@Jennifer YES. I've read book one of Everneath and tho, I rated it 2.5, all of those stars belong to Cole. HE PULLS OFF BLACK AND BLONE HAIR! HOW AMAZING IS THAT?! But Nikki is too weak and stupid a character for me to tolerate. Juliette was understandable bcz she was mentally unstable, but Nikki was ignorant and 'virtuous' to the point of self destruction. But yes, the similarities between Cole and Aaron are undeniable.

@ Jacqueline Hmm. Never heard of this before. Need to check it out! Thanks.

@Julia. Remember- #DarknessNeverDies #ForeverSobbing Ruin and Rising ruined me. FRIGGIN PUN IS FRIGGIN INTENDED.

thanks everyone for the thoughts! Keep reading and keep the recs coming! =)

EVERYTHING IS RUINED.

I literally loved Warner from the beginning! And seriously think he is in my top 10 favorite YA book characters.

Thanx

@Abigail I've read Hush hush...read it last year and if Patch wasnt a selfish, self obsessed, psychotic stalker throughout 3/4th of the book, maybe I would've liked it better. And the plot was predictable. Way too eay to guess. So its a no for me, but I'm happy you liked it anyways! :) :)
Also, your friend will change her mind. Chapter 62 is basically the literary version of brainwashing...
90% of people jumped ships, after c62.. ;)

@Mirou and Julia- Its been more than a month since I've read R&R and even know when I listen to Leigh's WinterSong, I cannot help but curl up and cry. I haven't loved a book this much, almost to the point of hysteria, since HP and PJO.

God, the Feels. And yes, the capitalization is necessary. T^T #cry

AND btw, you guys totally need to check out Rosamund Hodge,s novel, published Jan of 2014- Cruel Beauty. I have a fave of three bad boys- Warner(Shatter me), the Darkling(Grisha<3) and the Gentle Lord, and TRUST ME, the Gentle Lord in Cruel Beauty will. not. fail your expectations.
Just go and read it. Its a standalone, so no worries for series-waiting. so JUST READ IT OKAY

Try reading Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

okay, so since people have already mentioned the Darkling from Shadow & Bone, Gentle lord/Ignifex from Cruel Beauty (I actually hate the second half of that book, I know I'm probably the only one), I will add three more to the table. Because I am always obsessed with the bad boy/villain guys in YA:
1) Morpheus from Splintered
2) Ash from Iron Fey -kind of, not totally
3) Julian from The Forbidden Game -old school writing but his character is HOTTTT

Oh, and I second Bipasha -I couldn't stand Patch in Hush, Hush, that book was like Twilight with a crazy guy, not my thing.

Morpheus is really amazing!!!! He's a very complex character and I adore him! Can't Ensnared come out faster??

Also I secind the Forbidden Game... I've cried over Julian and I'm still waiting for that sequel.

P.S.: has anyone else read Leigh Bardugo's The Demon in The Woods?

Obsidian (Lux #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Daemon is an absolute heart-throb and Katy is not that bad of a main character like J turned out to be...hope this helps!

I agree. Great series!!

To stupid to live.

You need to read "The Selection". Maxon is exactly like Aaron. Both abused, crappy dads, sweet, and ETC. The only difference is Maxon cannot make up his mind ;)

Death from Arcana Chronicles perhaps.

Molly wrote: "You need to read "The Selection". Maxon is exactly like Aaron. Both abused, crappy dads, sweet, and ETC. The only difference is Maxon cannot make up his mind ;)"

Well, Maxon is WAYYYY sweeter and not rude. But both know how to be formal, in case of Warner he was a commander and Maxon is a Prince..

DO. NOT. READ. THE. SELECTION.
The main character is freaking worse than Juliette. Where Juliette has redeeming qualities freaking America is like some bad cliche of the girl who gets caught in a love triangle and makes the worst possible decision so everyone gets burned.

What you should read is
This is a really great fantasy fiction novels that has the same aspects of a dystopian. People being oppressed. A character breaking out of the norms, however the love relationship is very very well written and the guy has a past and is tortured by deaths in his life similar to that tortured feeling of Warner. Kestrel is smart. like freaking crazy smart. And while Juliette took time to cry and mope, which really sealed the deal as the second book being my least favorite of the shatter me series, and to even comment on America from The Selection- Kestrel is one of those characters that you fall in love with because she doesn't pity herself or have these moments to sit in a dark room to cry and hide, and she doesn't act stupid and self righteous like America. She's witty and she makes actually sensible decisions. The first two books are out and the second book's ending is probably the best ending I've ever read because it's 100% shocking, you-could-not-have-seen-that-coming-whatsovever kind of endings.

In The Selection, Maxon is nothing like Warner. Maxon is seen as this kind of soft prince kind of guy and the only reason why you think he'd be stronger is this shocker later in the series which was kind of... well I felt it was just thrown in there to make readers stop saying that the series was a princess and prince version of The Bachelor.

The Selection series is HEAVY HEAVY HEAVY love triangle so I really urge everyone not to read it if you're not into that kind of thing. When I finished the last book I was like "finally it's over ! I'm free!" Because they're just not an enjoyable set of books in the long run.

magnus of falling kingdoms remind me so much of warner :) teehee

I just finished and while I'm unsure if the author has written a character like the darkling from her other series- because I still need to read that series- and in turn, someone like Warner, but the main character Kaz is very similar to Warner. They're both crazy smart, always surprising in every possible way, and they have reputations that discredit how genuine of people they actually may be.

And even though you may not have liked Nikki from I would finish out the rest of the series and then read the .5 books in between the main books. it really is a great series and just like with Shatter Me- the development that's there for falling in love with Warner is there for Cole in the same way but you just gotta push on. Juliette really annoyed the crap out of me until that one part where Kenji yelled at her--lolololol- but yeah, it's just like ya got to keep pushing as the reward is larger than the punishment.

Other books I will say to read besides and from my earlier comment I would also definitely read and

Quick hits to the qualities of said books:
Six of Crows:
Written by the same author as the Grisha series
crazy great and well thought out plot in all kinds of ways
loves that make your heart ache
Kaz being VERY similar to Warner
Sexual innuendos to die for. SO funny

The winners curse:
actually a smart heroine who's easy to like
boy with a hidden past who gives off the same vibe as Warner of that internal conflict
well done and well structured plot

the wrath and the dawn:
If Warner is troubled then Khalid is the czar of Misery and Torment
smart and likeable heroine
good plot with good development- understandable motives
love between the two main characters breaks hearts at the very last page- mucho feels

Under the Never Sky:
This series will forever be one of my favorites just because it really takes you to a whole different world entirely. When reading shatter me, personally, that book made me slightly insane as I inhaled it, but with this book... it's the same way... but different. This series transports and breaches past any kind of written world so far in the whole YA genre, and it's very well done in the fact that it's almost tangible.
The characters are great, antagonists are scary as shit, and the two lovers start off as enemies same as Warner and Juliette. There's development that's MUCH more substantial than in books mirroring reality tv shows such as the bachelor or flavor flave (cough cough. KIERA CASS) and it's this development that drives my affections for this particular couple, in the same way that I love Warner and Juliette as a couple (even though I'd survive if it was just Warner in the picture).

I didn't think a book series could top the "Shatter Me" series because of Warner. I'm still not sure one has but "The Atlantis Grail" series has quickly become one of my absolute favorites! Aeson could be compared with Warner in some ways. He's not a villain by any means but he definitely has a sort of similar vibe going on at first. I love him almost as much (maybe as much) as Warner. :) Plus my favorite part is that the main character Gwen Lark doesn't really fall into the usual ya tropes. She has one special thing about her and she has to work incredibly hard at the rest and at the one special thing about her. she's not amazingly talented, wonderful, and powerful like so many other main heroines. I actually feel thrilled when she succeeds at somethings because I saw how hard she worked for it!

Oh my goodness, i just finished reading the Creepy Hollow series and Ryn totally reminded me of Warner. I loved this series!

Rhysand from A Court of Thorns and Roses. ❤

Rhysand and Warner are the best things to ever grace this earth in the format of a fictional character
