Favourite Female Leads!

Right, I'm going to avoid the obvious like The Hunger Games and Divergent because after a while that get's a bit samey and after all I want to introduce people to new books!

In no particular order...

1) Juliette Ferrars

Book Series: Shatter Me Trilogy
Author: Tahereh Mafi
My Review of Shatter Me
Genre: Romance- Dystopian


Juliette's touch is lethal which leads her to be beaten and abused, thrown through hospitals until finally she lands in an asylum. What I really love about Juliette is that in the end she understands her flaws and how she has developed as a person. It doesn't happen enough. Watching her grow and believe in her own strength is inspiring. This series makes you feel that really can accomplish anything  (If you've read Ignite Me you'll understand).

2) Ruby Daly

Book Series: The Darkest Minds
Author: Alexandra Bracken
Genre: Dystopian-Action

I enjoy reading through Ruby's eyes because her narration is witty and snappy, she interacts with the other characters in a really interesting way. She's sarcastic and clever, she's not fodder for other's wit. The way she can read a situation and decide what is the most logical way to get what they want is sly and sneaky. Surviving is something Ruby knows how to do well. 



3) Rose Hathaway

Book Series: Vampire Academy 
Author: Richelle Mead
Genre: Young Adult Paranormal
Rose Hathaway is beautiful, dangerous and strong. She's a delight to read about because she's a fighter who is loving and caring and clever. Best of all she's honest, she's not the nicest girl but it doesn't matter to me because to me she seems real. Guess what? There are people who consider other people boring, who are not all good and who keep it herself. Some people think she's mean but never does she tell anyone her thoughts about them because she's not too fussed about what other people think of her (she is bothered by people lying about her). 


...and I've run out of time for more, perhaps I'll do an updated one soon

Until next time,
