   The first one is particularly good, with a fresh perspective. I don't know why it's not more popular; you'll have to see it to understand. The author has created a new worldview, and the plot is very tight, tense, and exciting. The second one is tense and exciting in the beginning, but it focuses more on power struggles later on, though it's not cliché. It's worth checking out; the plot is fresh, and there are definitely hooks that will attract readers. Both have a strong wasteland theme, but the first one fits the wasteland genre better. Both are good, with fresh and unconventional plots, and both are female-centric stories without romance, which I love. The female characters are truly strong, but not overpowered from the start; they level up gradually, giving readers a sense of accomplishment. I recommend both.
