Read them first: Dystopian teen fiction to feed your fandom

'Insurgent' the movie is set to open sometime this month.

Veronica Roth, author of the Divergent trilogy, has a new book coming in 2017. In the meantime, what is a teen fiction fan to do?

As the second Divergent film, Insurgent opens in the United States later this month, the trilogy's scribe Veronica Roth has announced she's got two books on the way. The first, said to be "in the vein of Star Wars", is to tell the story of a boy and his enemy, both desperate to escape their oppressive lives, who form an unlikely alliance.

That book is out in 2017, with the second book in the duology following in 2018. If you've read Divergent, and your Hunger Games and Maze Runner books are long-devoured, here are a few recent and upcoming books that may satisfy your penchant for dystopian teen fiction.

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard

**Released February 2015

In a society where those in possession of super powers are better positioned to lead their nations, a peasant girl with super powers of her own threatens to upset the status quo and is quickly subsumed into the royal line, despite her secret commitment to revolution.

The first entry in debut novelist Victoria Aveyard's planned young adult trilogy, Red Queen was a hit upon its release last month and has been optioned for film by Universal.

Seeker by Arwen Elys Dayton

**Released February 2015

Having been tipped as the next big thing in young adult fiction, Seeker follows the adventures of Quin Kincaid, a girl who has spent her life being trained for the role of a deadly assassin. Destined to fight beside her two closest companions, Shinobu and John, she takes her Oath and discovers that being a Seeker is not what she expected. Sony Pictures has optioned the story.

The Outliers by Kimberly McCreight

**Releasing in April 2015

The new book from the author of the best-selling Reconstructing Amelia hasn't hit shelves, but its film rights have already been acquired by Lionsgate, with Reese Witherspoon to produce after her recent successes Gone Girl and Wild.

Focusing on a group called the Outliers, who claim to be able to harness "intuition" as a psychological weapon, the trilogy boasts a heroine with "the wit and wisdom of John Green's Hazel Grace, the ambition of Veronica Roth's Divergent". — AFP Relaxnews
