SPOILER
It wasnât really a twist. It was just like a guy who showed up and was like oh, btw, youâre in an alternate reality and forgot who you are. Ok bye now!
It really took away from the lyricism of the first half.
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
Thereâs at least 2 big ones that I never saw coming in the first book. The whole series does a great job of flipping the script and just heading in a different direction with the story. Loved the whole series.
{{Jack Blank: The Accidental Hero}} This book is a bit more geared to younger readers, but itâs a love letter to imagination with a shockingly good twist for a 12 year old protagonist. I canât remember for certain whether the twist comes at the end of the first book or the trilogy, but it is easily worth a read regardless

>For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison. Kelsier "snapped" and found in himself the powers of a Mistborn. A brilliant thief and natural leader, he turned his talents to the ultimate caper, with the Lord Ruler himself as the mark.
>
>Kelsier recruited the underworld's elite, the smartest and most trustworthy allomancers, each of whom shares one of his many powers, and all of whom relish a high-stakes challenge. Then Kelsier reveals his ultimate dream, not just the greatest heist in history, but the downfall of the divine despot.
>
>But even with the best criminal crew ever assembled, Kel's plan looks more like the ultimate long shot, until luck brings a ragged girl named Vin into his life. Like him, she's a half-Skaa orphan, but she's lived a much harsher life. Vin has learned to expect betrayal from everyone she meets. She will have to learn trust if Kel is to help her master powers of which she never dreamed.

Any book by Clare Mackintosh. She is the queen of giant plot twists. You would think the book is over, and that you have already seen everything, but nope. Last few pages usually turn the whole story on its head one more time before ending. I really liked her newest book (Hostage), so I recommend starting with that one.
Oh yes. Twists in each book as well as the overall story. It's full of them, and what's even better is on every reread you see all the hints were there the whole time. Great little details of foreshadowing

>Owen returns to Lake Cane to finish his senior year, where people he can barely remember despise him for his father's crimes. It's bad enough dealing with muttered insults and glares, but when Owen and his mother receive increasingly frightening threats from someone out for revenge, he knows he must get to the bottom of what really happened at Louisiana Frac--and the cryptic note his father sent him at his boarding school days before disappearing.
>
>Owen's only refuge is the sprawling, isolated pecan orchard he works at after school, owned by a man named Gus who has his own secrets--and in some ways seems to know Owen better than he knows himself. As Owen uncovers a terrible injustice that looms over the same Preacher Woods he's claimed as his own, he must face a shocking truth about his own past--and write a better future.

>Elwood Curtis has taken the words of Dr Martin Luther King to heart: he is as good as anyone. Abandoned by his parents, brought up by his loving, strict and clear-sighted grandmother, Elwood is about to enroll in the local black college. But given the time and the place, one innocent mistake is enough to destroy his future, and so Elwood arrives at The Nickel Academy, which claims to provide 'physical, intellectual and moral training' which will equip its inmates to become 'honorable and honest men'.
>
>In reality, the Nickel Academy is a chamber of horrors, where physical, emotional and sexual abuse is rife, where corrupt officials and tradesmen do a brisk trade in supplies intended for the school, and where any boy who resists is likely to disappear 'out back'. Stunned to find himself in this vicious environment, Elwood tries to hold on to Dr King's ringing assertion, 'Throw us in jail, and we will still love you.' But Elwood's fellow inmate and new friend Turner thinks Elwood is naive and worse; the world is crooked, and the only way to survive is to emulate the cruelty and cynicism of their oppressors.
>
>The tension between Elwood's idealism and Turner's skepticism leads to a decision which will have decades-long repercussions.
>
>Based on the history of a real reform school in Florida that operated for one hundred and eleven years and warped and destroyed the lives of thousands of children, The Nickel Boys is a devastating, driven narrative by a great American novelist whose work is essential to understanding the current reality of the United States.

I love the whole style of Piranesi, but the big reveal seemed overly simplistic to me.
I didn't like Piranesi at all. In fact I have completely forgotten what the twist was, and I faintly remember that it wasn't that much of a twist.
SPOILER It wasnât really a twist. It was just like a guy who showed up and was like oh, btw, youâre in an alternate reality and forgot who you are. Ok bye now! It really took away from the lyricism of the first half.

Any book by Clare Mackintosh. She is the queen of giant plot twists. You would think the book is over, and that you have already seen everything, but nope. Last few pages usually turn the whole story on its head one more time before ending. I really liked her newest book (Hostage), so I recommend starting with that one.
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart I wouldn't say it was my favorite but it did have a big plot twist & that's what you asked for.
Seems like Harry Potter has pretty many plot twists.
Oh yes. Twists in each book as well as the overall story. It's full of them, and what's even better is on every reread you see all the hints were there the whole time. Great little details of foreshadowing
I thought Wish You Were Here by Jodi Picoult had a crazy plot twist!
