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!

    To be completely honest, no. I did really like the ending, but my brain mostly dumps everything once I get into a new book series!

    Oh! I actually just thought of one more that has multiple characters with multiple perspectives with intertwining stories from different eras - The Clockmaker’s Daughter by Kate Morton. I read it a long time ago but I still think about it on occasion :)

      Ooh, I’ll add that to my list too, thank you!

      Usually my brain dumps the books right away too, but this one stuck with me.
