This week's topic is Top Ten Favorite Characters in X Genre, which I'm going to turn in to:
Ten of my Favorite Young Adult Boys!
(This, obviously, is not a complete list. I've also tried to add some variety. I feel like my lists are all the same)
1. Jem from The Infernal Devices - Maybe if I make my heart break NOW, when I read Clockwork Princess it will hurt a little less, because I just KNOW Cassie is going to rip that organ to shreds.
"His beauty did not blaze like Will's did in fierce colors and repressed fire, but it had its own muted perfection, the loveliness of snow falling against a silver gray sky.”
2. Park from Eleanor & Park - set to be published on 2/26/13. I think after reading this book Park will be a lot of people's favorite.
3. Cricket from Lola and the Boy Next Door
4. Will from Slammed and Point of Retreat - Another one of those lovable boys-next-door.
"I've learned something about my heart. It can break. It can be ripped apart. It can harden and freeze. It can stop. Completely. It can shatter into a million pieces. It can explode. It can die. The only thing that made it start beating again? The moment you opened your eyes."
5. Roger from Amy & Roger's Epic Detour - I wouldn't mind going on a cross-country road trip with this guy.
“Perfect is overrated. Perfect is boring."
I smile. "You don't think I'm perfect?"
"No. You're delightfully screwy, and I wouldn't have you any other way.”
6. Roar from Under the Never Sky, Roar & Liv, and Through the Ever Night - I fell for Roar whilst reading the short in between novella. His humor and passion and heart and fierce protection of the ones he loves makes him a favorite.
7. Sean from The Scorpio Races
8. Miles (a.k.a Pudge) from Looking for Alaska - funny and endearing and awkward and intelligent.
"It is worth it to leave behind my minor life for grander maybes."
9. Puck from The Iron Fey series - I'm not going to lie. Ash started off as my favorite. And I do think he's a better fit for Meghan (not that I'm saying that's who ends up with her). But after reading one of the novellas and The Iron Knight, Puck found a place in my heart. Let's face it, I'm a sucker for a boy who can make me laugh. I want a spin-off series focused around his character. PLEASE JULIE.
10. Dimitri from the Vampire Academy series - I tried for variety, I really did. But this boy-man keeps invading my brain. He can protect me any day.
(IF ONLY these covers didn't SUCK SO FREAKING MUCH!)
Leave your list link in the comments and I'll check it out! :)
