    Lindsey Ellis is always great and her script here is fast paced and informative. Good video series so far and I hope we get to see more without interfering in Ellis's normal channel.

      A lot of the reason I love her work is that it's long-form and winding, but you're right, she's really good at a tight script like this.

    Have long felt Ender’s Game belongs in this category as well as Science Fiction. Are there examples of sci-fi YA - whether officially categorized as YA or not - that come to mind for anyone here...

    Have long felt Ender’s Game belongs in this category as well as Science Fiction. Are there examples of sci-fi YA - whether officially categorized as YA or not - that come to mind for anyone here as recommended? Hunger Games and Divergent were featured in the OP.

      The Giver maybe and Star Wars Asohka come to mind. Also adding Christopher Pike's Starlight Crystal, Red Rising and Unwind.
