YA Quartet: Mazes.

Stories in which a person-sized maze figures in prominently:

     

In The Freedom Maze, a hedge maze is hugely important to the storyline. But I don't want to give it all away, so just trust me: HUGELY. IMPORTANT.

In Incarceron, Finn lives in the titular prison... which is, basically, a huge, possibly-sentient maze.

  

In The Thief, Gen has to traverse a deadly underground maze in order to steal Hamiathes's Gift. 

In The Maze Runner, Thomas wakes up in the Glade—which is in the middle of a ginormous maze—with no memory of his recent past. It isn't long before he becomes a Runner, tasked with exploring the maze in an attempt to find a way out.

I have a couple of other titles in mind—like Lost in the Labyrinth and The Perilous Gard—but I want to re-read them first.

Additions and/or suggestions?

There's a maze in Bitterblue, although it isn't that relevant to the story, just darn creepy. Oh, and The Tombs of Atuan, of course.

Not about maze books, but for similarly-themed books I found The Maze Runner very much like Variant in that they are both about kids finding themselves trapped in experiments of unknown purpose.

Andre Norton's wonderful Lavender Green Magic, which was one of my favorites as a kid. It also features a pair of African-American kids who are transported back in time via a maze--perhaps that's where Delia Sherman got the idea?
