The Characters Book Tag

Alrighty then- another tag! (cos, obviously, I’m still really behind on those ) Thank you to Olivia Emily @ Libroliv for tagging me to do this- she’s awesome so you should definitely go check her out!

Now on with the questions:

1. Who is the best kick-ass character?

Celaena Sardothien obviously. She is so kickass in all her forms.

2. Which character do you most dislike?

America from The Selection series, because she’s everything I hate in a YA heroine. Just thinking about her gets my blood boiling. I mean she’s a two-timing irritant, and yet simultaneously one of the most sanctimonious heroines I’ve ever had the displeasure of reading. Ughh.

3. If you could date any fictional character who would it be and why?

Well cos I’m just feeling nostalgic, how about Sirius Black? (And yes I still think of him as alive- I’m still in denial) (And no I do not mean Gary Oldman)

4. If you could change a character in any way what would it be?

That’s a really hard question- maybe I’d make it so the Darkling from the Grisha trilogy didn’t turn out to be straight up evil- because I think he had potential to be more interesting than he turned out to be.

5. What character to you made all the wrong choices that didn’t add anything to the book?

Like my lovely nominator, I’m gonna go with Clary Fray as well, because she makes some weird decisions towards the end of the series that just made me go “what??” I mean the series still ended well, so I didn’t completely hate her, but I did find myself questioning her more and more as the story progressed.  Also she’s on my mind more now that Shadowhunters has started…

6. Which character was the best villain whom you love to hate?

Sometimes I feel like they just don’t make villains like they used to, which is why I’m going with Lydia from Armadale. She’s a straight up witch from hell and I remember hating her with all my heart when I read that book

7. Favourite side-kick character with the most heart?

How can it be anyone other than Samwise Gamgee? He’s the real hero of Lord of the Rings in my opinion. I mean just look at him…

8. What is your favourite fictional romantic relationship?

Ahh I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone, so I’m not going to use a modern book (like Carry On…). How about Emma and Mr Knightley from Emma– everyone knows how that turns out, right? And if you don’t, it’s not a spoiler cos it’s Austen- and everyone knows that in Austen the main character *always* gets the guy.

9. What character did you think was the strongest?

Hmm I’m gonna go with Katniss Everdeen, because she’s one of the strongest characters in YA literature. Again, just look at that face- no one can disagree with a pic of Jennifer Lawrence in all her Hunger Games glory.

10. Best protagonist?

I’m going to go with Raskolnikov from Crime and Punishment, cos he’s a proper nutcase, but he’s really fascinating as a character.

Awesome- that was fun- I tag everyone for this one! Yup- if you saw this you now have to do it or the martians will come and force you to list all your favourite characters alphabetically… or something…

So get on it! Or you could just be lazy and tell me your answers in the comment section- that would work too- it would definitely placate the martians (god this is getting weird…)
