If Cia’s deadly rounds in Tosu City had you hooked, you’ll tear through Red Rising. Darrow infiltrates the elite and is thrown into the Institute’s war-game where Houses like Mars and Apollo literally wage campus warfare. The backstabbing alliances, survival gambits, and rigged oversight from the Proctors echo Dr. Barnes’s ruthless Testing—only here, the “exam” is full-on conquest.

Loved watching Cia navigate poisoned lakes, booby‑trapped ruins, and treacherous “teammates”? In The Maze Runner, Thomas wakes in the Glade with no memory and must survive a shifting labyrinth and Grievers while decoding WICKED’s designs. The scramble to form alliances, spot hidden rules, and decide who to trust mirrors Cia’s wilderness phase—and the stakes feel just as fatal.

If the United Commonwealth’s Testing—complete with memory wipes and Dr. Barnes’s cold calculus—grabbed you, The Hunger Games delivers a similarly ruthless spectacle. Katniss is forced into a state‑sanctioned death match engineered by the Capitol and President Snow, where survival requires strategy, media savvy, and moral compromises—much like Cia’s careful choices under constant surveillance.

If Cia’s resolve and quick thinking won you over, Divergent puts Tris through Dauntless initiation: fear simulations, rooftop leaps, and faction politics. As Tris uncovers secrets that destabilize her world—much as Cia pieces together the truth behind the Testing—her grit and conscience drive her to push back against a system that demands conformity at any cost.

Drawn to Cia’s single-minded mission to earn a coveted future (despite rules designed to break her)? In Scythe, Citra and Rowan apprentice under Scythe Faraday, facing trials where failure means death and success demands chilling choices. The mentorship, exams, and moral calculus echo Cia’s ordeal—only here the test is whether you can kill ethically in a world that conquered death.
