I also think I read Butler's 'Talent' books shortly after Divergent which was the point where I was like 'no more play dystopias for a while.'

Yep, totally fair. I always found the (mainly American) YA dystopias of the 2000s so unbelievably tame in comparison to the Australian equivalents with which I grew up (none of which came close to Butler). If nothing else, the latter do not tend to end with people overthrowing whatever flimsily constructed dictatorship that oppresses them: at best, the characters have to learn to accommodate and live within the dystopian setting.
