My 10 Favorite Kick Ass Ladies

TTTimage

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the awesome people at The Broke and the Bookish

This week’s topic is: Top Ten Favorite Kick-Ass Heroines

Favorite Kick Ass Ladies 1

Katniss from The Hunger Games
Of course Katniss is on this list! Is there anyone more kick ass than Katniss?

Hermione from Harry Potter
Hermione kicks ass with her wand and her brains!

Lena from Delirium
She might not have been very kick ass in Delirium but that certainly changed in Pandemonium.

Katsa from Graceling
Katsa is just amazing…and a little scary. I wouldn’t want to be on her bad side.

Elisa from The Girl of Fire and Thorns
Oh, Elisa. She’s probably one of my favorite characters ever.

Kick Ass Ladies 2

Ismae from Grave Mercy
Holy crap does she kick ass!

Rose from Vampire Academy
We all know Rose will punch first and ask questions later.

Emerson from Hourglass
Emerson has wit and she’s super brave!

Evie from Paranormalcy
Same with Evie. She will make you laugh while tasing you.

June from Legend
I loved that June was kind of the bad guy (girl).

  3. Evie is on my list too! Loved her! I’ve never thought of Hermione as kickbutt but I guess she is! Should have added her :-)

  4. You chose some great heroines! How could I forget Lena and Elisa? And I really need to read Hourglass and Grave Mercy soon since the heroines sound so fantastic.

  5. Loved Katniss, Katsa and Elisa too. I still have to read a few other books you mentioned – awesome list!

  10. I never even through of Lena but she is a really good choice! Elisa is one of my favorites too, such a unique and complex heroine.

  11. Fantastic list!! I haven’t read some of those books, but I definitely agree with Katniss, Lena, Hermione, Ismae, Evie, and June. I would also add in Alex from JLA’s Covenant series.

  12. Love the list. I agree with all of the ones there that are from books I’ve read. It’s great that there are so many books with fantastically strong female characters!

  16. Hmm, if Lena got more kick ass in Pandemonium, I guess I must read that one soon :) Hermione and Eve are great picks!

  19. Now I’m very keen to read Pandemonium – Lena annoyed me so much in Delirium!

  20. Great list! I have Ismae of Grave Mercy, too. I thought she’d be a more popular pick, but you’re the only other person I’ve seen that put her down. :D My TTTs are at Musings on Fantasia and LKHill. Happy Tuesday! :D

  21. Your top two are the same as mine, only reversed. Great list!

  22. So a number of these books I haven’t read yet, but some of the other characters you chose almost made it on my list (such as Evie and Emerson). I want to read Timepiece, but haven’t gotten around to it. I hear that Emerson isn’t really the MC.

    Great list! Heck yeah to Hermione!!! How could she not be on this list?

  29. I have only read 1&2 on your list. Everything else is on my TBR pile. Sigh… I wish there were more reading hours in the day! I can’t wait to get to those.

  30. Ooh, Lena… good choice! I think she was kick butt in the first book, just in a different way.

    Evie almost made my list… it’s so hard to only pick 10 awesome heroines.
