Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Girl. Each week there is a different topic. This week’s topic is a character freebie so I decided to go with Strong Female Characters. Check out the links to go to the first book in each series (except for Queen of Shadows and Outlander) to read more about these characters. Queen of Shadows and Dragonfly in Amber are the first books that my selected character appears in those series.
- Vin from the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson
- Lysandra Ennar from the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas
- Mia Corvere from Nevernight Chronicles by Jay Kristoff
- Jude Duarte from The Folk of the Air trilogy by Holly Black
- Ead Duryan from The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon
- Nynaeve al’Meara from The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan
- Audrey Rose Wadsworth from Stalking Jack the Ripper series by Kerri Maniscalco
- Kady Grant from the Illuminae trilogy by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman
- Karou from Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy by Laini Taylor
- Bree Fraser from the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon
Who are some of your favorite strong female characters?”
Great list! Jude is one of my favourite YA heroines right now, she’s so much fun to follow. I need to read Nevernight and The Priory of the Orange Tree!

Thanks! She is such a great character! I HIGHLY recommend Nevernight, one of my all time favorite series. And The Priory of the Orange Tree was fantastic!

Karou is awesome! I totally love her. I still need to read the last book of the trilogy.

Great topic and list! I’m determined to finally read Illuminae this year. 🙂 I love Brianna — I know lots of Outlander fans find her bratty, but I admire her strength and intelligence.

I agree 100% about Brianna! One of my best friends finds her a little bratty but I think she is so strong and a really interesting character.
