Top Ten Tuesday: Leaders

                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 hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.  

I also have a giveaway going here for a SIGNED Copy of Geekerella open until the 14th so give it a look!  

The top today is:  Characters that would make great leaders!

So as I went through I went ahead and crossed out any already ruling (at least where I am in the books) or I would have a bunch of leaders already leading and I wanted to see who else I thought could lead.

Inej from Sixof Crows She is smart, thinks things through, and is willing to do what needs to be done but doesn't love bloodshed.
Magnus Bane from the Shadowhunter Universe Magnus is my favorite.  He is not only a powerful warlock but he is able to bring people together to work for greater threats.
Arianna from TheLoom Saga She doesn't take crap from anyone and is brutal.  She is also smart and while it may take some effort she does admit when she is wrong.  She can see many angles even if her anger may be a bit of an issue.
Mor from ACourt of Thrones and Roses series Mor is an awesome, all of the inner circle would be in their own way but I think Mor would be best suited for power as she has many aspects of the others in one.  She is a bad ass warrior, she is smart and methodical, and she is constantly underestimated.
Lysandra from Throneof Glass series I didn't like her in the start but in the last couple books she really grew to be one of my favorites and I love how she thinks of others more than herself as a leader should.  
Ganzey from TheRaven Boys series Ganzey just has this way about him that makes people want to follow him.  
McGonogall from Harry Potter She is EPIC!
Sydney from Bloodlines series Smart and objective.  Sydney has a connection to all the areas and is invested in everyone doing well and she is able to use all her different skills!

Thorne & Cress from The Lunar Chronicles Together.  I love Thorne he's a favorite of mine and I adore these two together from the start.  She is so sweet and innocent wanting to see the best in everything and push others to be their best which works out well in Thorne and while I like his swagger I think he could rule and Cress would keep him on the right path and not let him get distracted.

                  Tell me what you think of my list in the comments below.  Which would you recommend so I know which ones to get first?  Also please link back to your Top Ten as well so I can check out your list and see what I missed!

  4. I could not narrow it down with all the great, strong characters SJM packs her books with. This is my first Sydney spotting (yeah!). I loved that brainy woman, but everyone was all about Rose. Gansey was groomed to lead, given his family ties, so a great choice. He had a lot of drive and charisma too. Magnus is an interesting choice. His persona is definitely a plus and magic!

  8. I totally agree with your Cress/Thorne pick-- as a team only though!! They need to balance each other out to really be able to do a great job leading. And I totally agree about Gansey. He got a bunch of people to look for a dead king, so that's pretty good evidence of his ability to get people to believe :)
