Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Badass Ladies of YA Fiction


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


This week's Top Ten topic is "Top Ten Favorite Heriones (in books/movies/tv)". I interpret that as Top Ten Badass Ladies of YA Fiction". Here's my list of the butt-kickingest chicks in YA lit...


Celaena Sardothian 
from the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas


I don't think anyone will argue with this one.


Alina Starkov 
from The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo




Katniss Everdeen 
from The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins




Wren 178 
from the Reboot series by Amy Tinterra



Katsa
from Graceling by Kristin Cashore



Isabelle Lightwood
from The Mortal Instruments series by Cassandra Clare




Rose Hathaway
from the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead




Karou
from the Daughter of Smoke & Bone series by Laini Taylor




Anthem Fleet 
from the Brokenhearted series by Amelia Kahaney



Captain Jubilee Chase 
from This Shattered World by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner




Is this list badass enough?

Who are your favorite female heriones?

  2. Ahh, you've got some amazing characters. I've got Celaena on my list too! :-) I could have easily put Alina in there too. Thanks for stopping by my blog!

  3. Katniss...she's iconic. If my list was just a heroines in books list, Rose would have been on it. She's such an amazing character. Badass, but also hilarious.

  4. Celaena and Alina are both on my list too. There's quite a few on your list that I haven't "met" yet, I really need to get reading!

  6. Karou is such a wonderful character! She nearly made my list too. Katniss is a heroine who, I'm pretty sure, is on many lists today.
    Awesome picks! :)

  7. Katniss and Rose are on my list too, I am surprised Rose hasn't been on more lists! Its also very nice to see someone love Isabelle, she is far greater than Clary. Thanks for sharing!

  16. GREAT list! Alina came very close to making mine too! I really, really need to read Throne of Glass and Daughter of Smoke and Bone, I have seen these characters all over today, and now I need to know more! And Katniss, always Katniss!

  17. Celaena made my list as well, and I have been seeing her around on a lot of Top Ten Tuesdays! (No arguments here!) I love Katniss, Rose, and Jubilee also! Great choice of characters!
