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!

I loooovveeeed Station Eleven it's one of my favourite post apocalyptic books. You have excellent taste!

I'm reading the Willow Falls trilogy atm. It's post apocalyptic and has some weeved narratives. It's on kindle unlimited and I'm absolutely gripped by them, best books I've read in years.

Other post apocalyptic book that's excellent is Lockdown the first couple are great. Sadly they go off the rails.

Oh and if you haven't already read it then Day of the Triffids is a classic and excellent.
