Top Ten Books Which Feature Characters Who Kick Ass

Top Ten Books Which Feature Characters Who Kick Ass

1. Hermione Granger--Harry Potter: Uh, Hermione...duh. She not only takes care of Harry and Ron and repeatedly saves them from death, she’s also the smartest which in like, all time.


2. Ginny Weasley--Harry Potter: You know, only saves the world with Harry, Ron, and Hermione; even if her part wasn’t displayed as prominently


3. Selaena--Throne of Glass: One of the better books I’ve read that features a woman who doesn’t need a man to save her. Of course, the men do occasionally save her, but we know that she is perfectly capable of saving her own fine self.


4. Alyssa Gardner--Splintered: Incredibly courageous, even if she doesn’t fight like the other women I’ve named so far. She goes through hell and back--well, Wonderland and back--to save one of the people who means the most to her, her mother.


5. Sophronias--Etiquette and Espionage: Another young woman who is brave beyond measure but mostly just gets herself into trouble and then, you know, out of trouble (as best she can). She’s sneaky, can fight, and can outthink even the smartest prof.


6. Alina--Shadow and Bone: Words cannot describe how amazing Alina is. She saves the world pretty much all by herself. She orchestrates plans when the kingdom falls to attack and finds a way to raise her abilities to the max, making her the most powerful Sun-Summoner of all flippin’ time.  


7. Cia Vale--The Testing: Cia is chosen for the most difficult, life endangering honor and has to fight to save her life and the life of the man she loves; and she hardly breaks a sweat doing it.


8. Thomas--The Maze Runner: Quite frankly, I’m including Thomas because I feel like I should add some men in here but most
   of the books I’ve read feature strong women anyway, so this was a difficult choice to make. He’s in this list because he is a strong leader. There you go, man #1.


9. Debrah--Darkly Dreaming Dexter: Police Lieutenant  and adopted sister of the serial killer Dexter. She can fight, saves lives, and curses unlike a true lady, and I fucking love her for that.


10. Joel--The Rithmatist: Dat boy makes the most out of his “disability” and disappointment. I’ve read the first  book and truly don’t know what it’s going to go from here.


11. And # 11, because I’m a rebel. Neville--Ha
    rry Potter (all books): Oh I soooo wish I could give away how awesome he is and how important he is to this series but I can’t, I just can’t ruin the end of the series for you like that.
