Top Ten Tuesday #11

Hi there, guys!
Welcome back to another Top Ten Tuesday!

This week's theme is:

Kick-Ass Heroines

Enjoy!

10) Isabel Culpeper from the The Wolves of Mercy Falls series by Maggie Stiefvater

She may not be as talented with the sword as the other heroines but she has a sharp mind and an even sharper tongue.

9) Ruby Daly
from the The Darkest Minds trilogy by Alexandra Bracken

She has one of the most frightening abilities I've ever come across!

8) Arya Stark from the The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R.Martin

I can't wait to see where the last two books will take her!
I wish we had at least a release date for Winds of Winter.

                   7) Penryn Young from the Penryn and the End of Days trilogy by Susan Ee

Penryn didn't want to be anything "heroic", all she wanted was saving her family. Even if that meant working together with the enemy. I loved the first two books but the last one was a disappointment.

6) Eona from Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman

I loved the first book in this duology! I hope I'll continue it soon.
Eona was a really unique and skillfully written character with a lot of not only physical but also mental strenght.

5) Rose Hathaway from the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead

I loved the hell out of this character - until book five and six happened. If you have read my reviews, you know my issues with the last two installments of Vampire Academy.
But I still adore Rose for her badass fighting skills in books #1-3.

4) Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series by J.K.Rowling

One of my all-time favourite heroines.
Remember the time she punched Malfoy in the face? Aaah, those were the days.

3) Katniss Everdeen from the The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins

The Hunger Games was one of the very first YA books I've ever read and I felt extremely intimidated by the brutality in it. But at the same time I worshipped adored Katniss for being such a strong character who's dealing with PTSD.

2) Aelin Galathynius from the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J.Maas

I doubt that there's any list of the most kick-ass YA heroines out there without Aelin included.
Her powers grow from book to book, it's amazing! I always get goosebumps when she's fighting!


1) Lady Katsa of the Middluns from Graceling by Kristin Cashore
http://41.media.tumblr.com/9aa3b12520fceede4a2e3b80818f0d53/tumblr_inline_nrp9lgYwD71rwdzpm_500.jpg
Graceling was the very first YA book I've ever read - and I absolutely adored it!
I loved everything about it, the setting, the characters and the way the plot developed!
I think I even cried at the ending?
Anyway, Katsa is graced with the art of killing, which means she is supernaturally skilled in taking lives.




That's it for today, guys! Who's your favourite kick-ass heroine? Tell me in the comments!
