Top Ten Tuesday #2: Top Ten Favorite Characters In YA

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

Here are my ten favorite characters in the YA genre:

1. Puck from The Iron Fey series
Hilarious! My favorite trickster.
The Iron King (The Iron Fey, #1)
2. Zuzanna from Days of Blood & Starlight
She is the character that brings sunshine in this otherwise depressing 2nd novel.
Days of Blood & Starlight (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #2)
3. Adrian from Bloodlines/ Vampire Academy
I will admit, I used to hate Adrian. But over time, I began to grow very fond of him.
Bloodlines (Bloodlines, #1)

4. Katarina Bishop from Heist Society
I bet all of us are jealous of this teen thief.
Heist Society (Heist Society, #1)

5. Augustus from The Fault in Our Stars
His outlook on life, his poetic statements, his humor; qualities of Gus that make us all love him.
The Fault in Our Stars

6. Alex Rider from the Alex Rider series
Alex reminds me of Katarina; he is just so clever.
Stormbreaker (Alex Rider, #1)

7. Karou from Daughter of Smoke & Bone
She is one of the few heroines in the YA genre that does not give up all that she believes in just to be with a guy. ( I won't say more; I don't want to spoil it for everyone who hasn't already read it).
Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1)

8. Morpheus from Splintered
Love him!
Splintered

9. Liam from the Darkest Minds
In this book, Liam's heroism is considered a "bad" thing by some of the characters. I totally disagree.
The Darkest Minds (The Darkest Minds, #1)

10. Rudy Steiner from The Book Thief
*Sobs*
The Book Thief

  1. Oh my gosh, I LOVE your list!! JUST finished Splintered and I really liked Morpheus! (When he wasn't being an ass :) ) Rudy-I'm dying. I adore him! Karou and Zuzana are 2 of my favorites! Karou especially, she is just such a kickass chick. And Augustus...no words. Same as Rudy. Just in love with. Fantastic list! :)

  3. Puck really grew on me over the series. At first, I didn't like him, but now, he's my favorite character from The Iron Fey.

    1. Same here! In the first book, for some reason, I was Team Ash. When I started to notice how sweet and funny Puck was, I saw the error of my ways and he quickly became my favorite character.

  4. Hey, Puck was on my list too! I'm still a Team Ash fan, but I just thought his character was hilariously awesome and I wish he had someone to love. :(

    1. You need to read it like, now. But I'm warning you: the second book is very depressing. And be ready to rip your hair out once you finish it.

  12. I'd love to re-read the Book Thief, it's one of my all-time favorite books. Puck isn't on my list (Grimalkin is), but he was definitively up there!

    Augustus . . . . *sigh* ;)
