Top Ten (Randi): Favorite Kick-Ass Heroines





Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.  

This week our list (brought to you by Randi!) is on the top ten Favorite Kick-Ass Heroines. I've chosen my fave heroines from a variety of genres, so enjoy! Lots of linkage to Goodreads, so feel free to get click-happy. 


Randi's Top Ten Favorite Kick-Ass Heroines:
(in no particular order)

1. Zulaikha from Words in the Dust by Trent Reedy - review here
2. Katsa from Graceling by Kristin Cashore
3. Hazel from The Fault in Our Stars by John Green - my review here & Becky's here
4. Darla from Ashfall by Mike Mullin - can't wait to read Ashen Winter which is sitting on my shelf!
5. Cinder from Cinder by Marissa Meyer - Becky & I both eagerly await Scarlet


6. Karou from Daughter of Smoke & Bone by Laini Taylor - my review here. I cannot wait to get my grabby hands on Days of Blood and Starlight!
7. Faythe from the Shifters Series by Rachel Vincent - kick-ass werecat woman!
8. Lina from Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys - can't wait to read her next book!
9. ALL THE WOMEN from The Help by Kathryn Stockett
10. Lisbeth Salander from The Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson - I wish there were more than three books!

    Great list! I reckon I'll be seeing Lisbeth make a lot of people's lists this week (she didn't in mine this week but she's definitely kick-ass)

    Here's my TTT for this week =)

    I picked Katsa and the ladies from The Help too. :) I almost picked Hazel. ..I guess I should have, since I only had 7 on my list lol.

    I've always wanted to read Graceling! She sounds like such a strong character.

    I agree with the other choices, though. :)

      DO IT! DO IT! :) I still need to read the companion books. I was ready to run and get the rest in the Seven Kingdoms series right after I finished Graceling...and then realized they're not about Katsa. :(

    Ahhh Karou ♥ She made my TTT as well! I actually own Graceling, Ashfall & Cinder but I haven't had a chance to read them...yet. The Help and Dragon Tattoo are both on my reading list as well! Thanks for sharing, new follower via GFC & NB :)

      Yay Karou!!! I think she's one of my favorite female characters ever. She's just SO badass, haha. Of those three...I'd say Ashfall is my fave. And the sequel just came out! :)

      Thanks for following!
