Hey guys! It's Jordan here (@FridaysAndBooks on Instagram), and I'm just realizing that I don't think I've ever actually posted myself on this blog! Usually I'm more of a behind-the-scenes worker as far as the blog goes. However, now that we have switched from SSS posts to the SDP, I'll be posting every third weekend for sure! :) That's exciting, right?
Okay, so I was browsing Instagram a few days ago, and I saw a book tag that I really liked! It's the top five heroine tag, and since no one actually tagged me to do it, I'm sharing it here and tagging myself! If you yourself like this idea, feel free to call yourself tagged and post about it! Are tags a thing in the blog world? I don't know. I'm kinda new in this area. Anyway, I had a hard time deciding on my favorite heroines, because I've read a lot of amazing books with awesome female characters. But, life always forces you into making decisions. So, continue reading to see my (in no perticular order) picks!
1. Vin from the Mistborn trilogy by Brandon Sanderson
I read this series awhile back, but I remember that Vin was great. Cool superpowers, ninja reflexes, goes from street rat to queen, and doesn't lose sight of the end game. Plus, she gets to marry her dream guy. Not bad.
2. June from the Legend trilogy by Marie Lu
As one of my favorite dystopian stories, I had to include June! She might be younger than a lot of other heroines out there, but that doesn't mean she isn't awesome. June fights for what she believes in, but is also able to adapt her beliefs. When she finds out that her government is evil, she becomes totally badass fighting with the Rebels. I'm a big fan of hers.
3. Hermoine Granger from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling
I'm new to the HP fandom, but I think I love Hermoine for all the reasons everyone else loves her. She is smarter than all the boys, and she doesn't feel guilt or bad about it. I wish every girl would be as confident in her intellect. Being smart and using your skills as amazing things that shouldn't be toned down just to fit in or please some guy's ego.
4. Tessa Grey from The Infernal Devices trilogy by Casandra Clare
What can I say about Tessa? She appreciates music, books, was independent before her time, and can fight evil all while wearing a hoop skirt and winning the hearts of Will Herondale and Jem Carstairs. She's my hero.
5. Celaena Sardothien from the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.
Celaena was the greatest assassin in her entire kingdom before she was out of her teenage years. Most of us are still trying to figure out how to wear our hair and what eye shadows compliment our skin tone in our teen years. I lover her drive, her passion, and I also kinda love her ruthlessness in some situations. Sometimes it's better to act and ask questions later.
So, there you have it! If you agree, disagree, or have your own favorites to share, comment down below!
Cheers!
