Top Ten Tuesday Top Ten Favorite Dystopian Characters

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

This week the topic is: Top Ten Favorite Characters in Dystopian Genres
(in no particular order)

So… here’s the thing. I couldn’t decide which genre I wanted to do more, and when I took a twitter poll it was split right down the middle. BUT I’m going to do my top 10 Dystopian. Maybe I’ll revisit this list for Contemporary later!

This list could easily have become a list titled “Jaime’s boyfriends” but I’m going to try not to do that 🙂

1. Four – Divergent/Insurgent by Veronica Roth – I know he will be on many lists, but I adore him. He’s the perfect combination of kick-ass and sweet. His determination to survive and his vulnerability … I love it.

2. Wren – Reboot by Amy Tintera – I know that this book isn’t exactly out yet, but I had the opportunity to read it and I love this girl. It’s rare that you have a female character who’s portrayed as so incredibly strong, and she definitely is.

3. Day – Legend by Marie Lu – “When I look to my side, I see a boy holding out his hand to me. He has bright blue eyes, dirt on his face and a beat-up old cap on, and at this moment, I think he might be the most beautiful boy I’ve ever seen.” and omg every time he says ‘yeah’. I love him in these books.

4. Connor & Risa – Unwind by Neal Shusterman – I loved this book. The world that Neal created and the characters … I still think of this book and cringe a bit. Both Connor and Risa were wonderfully written.

5. Warner – Destroy Me by Tahereh Mafi – I love Warner. I won’t deny it or lie. He’s not the person that I thought he was in Shatter Me and I can’t wait for book 3.

6. Adam – Shatter Me/Unravel Me by Tahereh Mafi – I included Warner so I have to include Adam. I adore him. I love how much he loves Juliette and every single part of Unravel Me had me wanting to pull him to me and hug him.

7. Liam and Ruby – The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken – Ruby’s determination and Liam’s confidence and the way he welcomed Ruby make them some of my favorites.

8. Althea – Whispers in Autumn by Trisha Leigh – I love love love strong girls and Althea is such an incredible one. If you haven’t started this series, the last book is out today and you need to get on this.

9. Perry & Roar – Under the Never Sky & Through the Ever Night by Veronica Rossi – I love these guys. Best fictional bromance ever.

10. Chase – Article 5/Breaking Point by Kristen Simmons – CHASE – oh my lord this boy – I love him and getting the opportunity to see a bit more from his pov in the outtakes that Kristen provided on her blog only endeared him even more.
