Hello all! It’s been a couple weeks! But I’m trying to get back into things, and that means participating in one of my weekly posts!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly post currently hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It celebrates lovely lists, wonderful books and the bookish community. This week’s topic is Favorite Secondary/Minor Characters. I’m going with one character per book or series.

In no particular order, here I go!

1: Poe (Emily Wilde Series)

I love him, he’s such a little guy.

2: Gurathin (The Murderbot Diaries)

He’s an a-hole, but I always enjoy his interactions with Murderbot and how much he annoys said SecUnit when they’re on page together.

3: Dancer (Strange Animals)

She was fun and weird from the moment she showed up, and I loved her immediately.

4: Alucard (Shades of Magic Series)

I haven’t read beyond the original trilogy, but I liked him the second he was introduced in A Gathering of Shadows. He was just so immediately charismatic and likeable.

5: Lucien (A Court of Thorns and Roses Series)

I really like him. I’m honestly a little bit nervous about what might be in store for him in the next installments. I’m not feeling the weird sort-of-a-love-triangle-thing he has going on with Elain and Azriel.

6: Sixteen (Piranesi)

She was so cool. Her determination was awesome. She’s got another name, but I’m loath to spoil anything about this book, so Sixteen it is.

7: Han (A Widow’s Charm)

Her character was one of the only things I really liked about A Widow’s Charm. I really liked her reserved personality.

8: Agnes (The River Has Roots)

The most interesting character in the book for me.

9: Denton (Sworn Soldier Series)

I really liked him in the first book, and I was really happy to see him return in book three. He was also given more of a background this time around.

10: Hakim (The Sandsea Trilogy)

I really enjoyed him and his brotherly bond with Mazen. I was really glad to see he had a larger role in The Ashfire King.

What are your favorite secondary or minor characters? What types of characters do you typically like?

As always, thanks so much for reading, and I hope that you have an amazing day/night!

See ya ~Mar
