You Finished The Maze Runner.
What Now?

Children from twelve districts are chosen annually to fight to the death in a nationally televised event. Katniss Everdeen volunteers to take her sister's place.

The gold standard of YA dystopia — more politically sophisticated than Maze Runner, with a protagonist whose psychology is more damaged and more real. Katniss is not Thomas, but the sense of a child weaponised by adults is identical.

Beatrice Prior's society is divided into five factions. On Choosing Day, she chooses Dauntless — and discovers she is Divergent, which means all factions want her dead.

The faction-based society swap for Maze Runner's maze-based prison. Both worlds are designed by adults to test children; both protagonists discover the truth of the design is worse than they imagined.

Andrew Ender Wiggin is taken to Battle School — a space station where children train in zero-gravity war games. He's the best they've ever seen. He doesn't know why they're preparing him so urgently.

The most direct intellectual match: a child in an institution he didn't choose, trained for a purpose he doesn't fully understand, surrounded by people who know more than they're telling. Card's prose is sharper; the revelation structure is similar.

Day is the Republic's most wanted criminal. June is its most brilliant military prodigy. Their paths collide in a way neither of them expected.

The conspirator-behind-the-curtain structure of Maze Runner in a different setting — a militarised future America where the people running the system have reasons for keeping the truth hidden.

Alien invaders have eliminated most of humanity in four waves. Cassie Sullivan is trying to find her brother. The fifth wave is the worst one.

The survival-against-odds momentum of Maze Runner in a first-contact apocalypse. Yancey's plotting has the same propulsive quality; the conspiracy element is handled with comparable skill.

In a future America, the solution to the abortion debate was the Bill of Life — parents can have their teenagers 'unwound', their bodies harvested for parts. Three teenagers are running from that fate.

The darkest YA dystopia premise since The Hunger Games. Shusterman's world has the same logical horror as Maze Runner's — a system that is completely internally consistent and completely wrong.

Darrow, a Red in a colour-coded future society, is given the chance to infiltrate the Golden elite. It requires becoming someone else entirely.

The adult evolution of everything Maze Runner started. Brown's plotting is more complex and the violence more explicit; the sense of a system designed to destroy and sort is the same.
