Hello
everyone! Top Ten Tuesday is just how it
sounds, a topic is picked and we put our Top Ten for that in a post and share
and check out everyone’s answers. Top
Ten Tuesday is now being hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. I changed the original topic (characters I liked in books I didn't) because usually if I didn't like a book I don't remember the characters as well since I LOVE character books!
The top ten today is: Characters I disliked in books I loved
Minya from Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor- She creeped me out from the
begging and never gained my favor. Every
time I wanted to feel something but dislike for her she hammered it home.
Alice & Slone from Our Dark Duet (Monsters of Verity #2) by Victoria Schwab- One is love to hate but
the combo plus another evil was too much evil!
House Rok from Loom Saga by Elise Kova- Yveun Dono is one piece of work but he is
not the worst by far!
Thaddeus from Sun Warrior (Tales of the New
World #2) by P.C. Cast- He and
his little pup too! They were not the
nicest of characters in book one but they went from obnoxious ass hats to
sinister evil real quick!
Queen Maeve from Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas- So she is a testy witch
when we first meet her and she only gets worse from there. Keeping people in service to her and making
them do things against their will…I hate her so much!
Zara Dearborn from Lord of Shadows (The Dark
Artifices #2) by Cassandra Clare- She is evil and bitchy from the
start. She is an attention hog who wants
everyone to bow down to her but doesn’t want to do the hard work.
King of Hybern from A Court of Thorns and Roses series by
Sarah J. Maas- So we only hear of him in the first book but he’s the big bad
that our evil was working under so clearly not a good guy then when he does come
to he hurts my people and only goes downhill from there.
Seth from Covnant series by Jennifer L. Armentrout- Okay so I never loved
him. At the start I thought he was pushy
and I consider him like I consider a rapist though my opinion of him only
lowered as the series went on.
The Commandant from An Ember in the Ashes series by Sabaa
Tahir- So she is basically just evil and vicious from the start which seems
pretty self-explanatory.
Queen Levana from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer- Umm….again controlling
people is just pure evil. This seems to
be a theme.
So
what do you think? Tell me what you
think of my list in the comments below.
Also please link back to your Top Ten as well so I can check out your
list and see what I missed!
I HATED the Commandant. I have yet to do the second book but I am really looking forward to knowing more about her story despite the fact I hate her.
ReplyDeletehaha I know right! I can't wait for book 3
DeleteQueen Levana seems to be a popular choice! I don't blame you! :-)
ReplyDeleteI know I've seen her on several which just proves how evil she is.
DeleteI need to read Sun Warrior. An evil pup? I simply won't have it!
ReplyDeletehaha there are lots of wonderful pups :)
DeleteI hated Queen Levana too, but I also consider her to be a great villain. Maybe it's because I hated her 😂
ReplyDelete- louise
I do agree with that!
DeleteI haven't read any of these books but a few of these are definitely on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteAnd Hi-five. I did the same topic today :)
http://flippingthruthepages.com/2018/04/ten-characters-i-didnt-like-that-much-in-the-books-i-loved/
Thanks it was so hard I couldn't think of anything for the other so I had to tweak it or skip. Hope you get to some of these great reads!
DeleteNice take on this week's topic! I agree, Levana is horrible! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Very popular choice it seems ;)
DeleteI did the same topic this week, so it's nice to have other ones to comment on. Queen Maeve was a good choice, and why did I not think of Zara? I wanted to punch her in the face for the entire book!
ReplyDeleteI know right! I had just been talking to a friend who is finally reading Lord of Shadows (very slowly) and I got all worked up about her again lol.
DeleteI agree about Queen Levana. I haven't read any of the other books though.
ReplyDeleteHere's our TTT

I hope you read any others you enjoy.
DeleteThe only book on your list that I've read is Strange the Dreamer, and Minya definitely makes me uncomfortable too! I can't think of another character who has put me on edge as quickly.
ReplyDeleteHere's my Top Ten Tuesday.
I know it might be the perpetual child like aspect but yeah....bad stuff for sure!
DeleteLevana, Maeve and the Commandant were all horrible indeed!
ReplyDeleteEvil to the core!
DeleteI LOVE Levana!!! In that awesome villain kind of way. If I had to pick a disliked character from that series, it would be Cress. I know a lot of people LOVE her, but she's too clingy for me. Great twist on the topic-- the original topic was super hard!!
ReplyDeleteYes super hard for sure. And yes I love Cress but I can get how she wouldn't be everyones cup of tea and I agree Levanna is a great villain.
DeleteQueen Levana just scared me. She was so damn creepy but in the end I loved to hate her.
ReplyDeleteSame that mind control thing just freaks me out and is never done by good people for good reads it seems lol
DeleteUgh yes, Queen Maeve and Queen Levana are both just awful!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2018/04/03/top-ten-tuesday-153/
Some evil queens....hummm maybe a theme.
DeleteNice take on the topic! Completly agree on Levana!
ReplyDeleteShe does seem to be the most popular choice!
DeleteI liked how you switched this around. I think that would make a lot more sense. I haven't read a single book on your list but have most of them on my tbr list.
ReplyDeleteI know so many TBR books I have everything lol
DeleteWe did the same topic switch! See, I thought about Levana, but honestly after reading Fairest I had a whole different perspective on her character and, therefore, could not include her on my list. But I completely understand. :)
ReplyDeleteFairest was a different side but in the end still had to include her.
DeleteAn Ember in the Ashes appeared on my list this week, but for a different reason. :)
ReplyDeleteLauren @ Always Me
I like both our takes on the topic and cheers to us for picking this book!
DeleteGreat post! The King of Hybern is awful. :( Thanks for stopping by the blog earlier!
ReplyDelete100% true!
DeleteI haven't read the Lunar Chronicles (I know... I'm probably the only reader EVER to have not read them), but I have seen lots of readers mention Queen Levana is one of the most evil characters ever. Guess it's good this type of series has such a creepy villain because it seems like the type of series/genre that could get away with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland. :)
haha yes she has been popular in the evil department and yeah it works out for the series having such a horrid bag guy.
