I’ve recently gotten into reading and have completed some novels and graphic novels. I will not care if it’s a novel, graphic novel, or something else. Any recommendation is great. Thanks

Edit: Thanks for suggestion. I started reading The Hunger Games. And put other in my read list.

    Nightfall by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverburg is an adventure / apocalypse story of a planet orbiting seven suns, giving constant daylight. When night falls for the first time in documented history, everything goes wrong and we follow one person’s journey to survive. Isaac is a great writer and very beginner friendly - he’s one of my favourite authors and I’d recommend almost anything he’s written.

    The Hunger Games by Suzanne Colins is a dystopian novel that basically defined the 2010s with all the films and copy-cats it inspired. An evil government rules and to punish those that rose up against it, forces children of its occupied states to fight to the death for entertainment. They’re pretty good books but, for me, not as good as the others I’m recommending. They do fit your criteria better though I’d say.

    The City and the Stars by Arthur C Clarke is a classic adventure story wherein an occupant of a closed-off city of the far future breaks out and explores the universe before returning and changing the city forever. I haven’t re-read it in a few years, but I remember liking it a lot at the time.

    Anne McCaffrey is my second-favourite author and I highly recommend her entire Pern series. They are mostly adventure / coming-of-age books and technically they are all sci-fi, but the first few are definitely fantasy in practise. Start with Dragonflight or The White Dragon, probably. And skip anything that Todd McCaffrey wrote IMO.

    Gravity Dreams by LE Modesitt is a bit unlike any other book I’ve read. It’s about a guy who gets thrust into a new society against his will. It’s about longing and desire, and how we fit into society, and what we dream of. I think it was really cool and I didn’t expect to like it after the first few pages. I only bought it because the cover looks like classic sci-fi and reminds me of the submarine from Thunderbirds - but actually it was only released in 1999. Anyway, a really good book which is loosely an adventure, but probably doesn’t quite fit what you’re asking.

    Anyway, I’ve been looking at my bookshelf and reminiscing for a while. If someone particularly likes these recommendations I can give a few more in the same vein but for now I’ve spent enough time on Lemmy…
