Hi friends,
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Today’s theme is: Favorite Secondary/Minor Characters.
Considering that I have difficulties to recall even the names of the main characters, this Top Ten Tuesday has been a bit of a challenge! I knew whose friend I wanted to feature but except for three of them whose names are widely known, I had to go and reread my reviews!
But here we are with my list of ten names!
The first names are: Manon Blackbeak from Throne of Glass (she is so badass and will choose her moral compass over her family’s brainwashing); Lehabah from Crescent City (that sprite had so much pride, loyalty and courage!) and Katrien Quillworthy from Sorcery of Thorns (I loved her fierce loyalty to Elisabeth, her cunning mind and mischievousness).
Then we have Chen Kitay from the Poppy War (he had a brilliant mind and his devotion to Rin was unwavering to the end), Andarna from Fourth Wing (she is courageous and so sassy!) and Liathe from Empire of the Vampire (she is SO BADASS!).
I also adored Yrene Towers from Tower of Dawn (for her compassion and courage), Hermione Granger from Harry Potter (even if it’s bad manners to talks about that series now because of “she who shan’t be named” view on trans people, I still adore that series and Hermione was brilliant, courageous , loyal and cunning) and also Simon Lewis from City of Bones (Clary’s friend was ALWAYS there to protect and support her).
And last but not least, Sevro au Barca alias the Goblin from Red Rising. Darrow’s best friend was fierce, unhinged and always loyal!
Do we have some in common?

I agree with Sevro and Red Rising! It’s been so long since I read the book but I still remember the Goblin perfectly.
I am waiting for the last book to be released to finally binge read the “second part” of that saga!
Chen Kitay is an amazing character in The Poppy War. This actually makes me want to reread the books, but then I remembered all the pain…
It was so hard reading the end!
Simon had some big story arcs. I never thought of him as a side character. I feel like Manon started out secondary and earned the readers’ adoration and a great storyline.
I think Manon has the main character vibe!
I haven’t read any of these except for HP.. and I totally agree with you about Hermione.
How could I forget Lehabah when I literally just posted her on booksta?!
Yes Caro, how???
Manon is amazing! And I can’t believe I forget Lehabah and Katrien :)
Next time Lindey!
I think this would be a hard prompt for me too! You did great, and I also loved Andarna from Fourth Wing
Thank you Tammy!
