A few days ago I did the Top 10 Kickass Female Protagonists, and now I'm back with my Top 10 Kickass Male Protagonists! Without further ado, shall we jump right into it?
- Will Herondale from The Infernal Devices.
Ah Will (*swoon*); charming, sarcastic, tortured, handsome Will.
#TeamWillHerondale forever and ever. I like Jem, but I love will.
Will is such a fantastic and strong character. Like most of Cassandra's protagonists, he's a tortured soul, but when he loves... he loves passionately and completely and it both warms and breaks your heart.
Bitter-bitter-sweet is how I would describe The Infernal Devices. - Jace many-last-names Lightwood from The Mortal Instruments.
Oh Jace (*swoon*); Sarcastic, beautiful, self-destructive Jace.
I admit, I think I love Will just a little bit more than I love Jace.
There, I said it. But I DO love Jace. A lot. So much. Every great hero has a weakness. Like superman and Kryptonite, Jace and ducks (The ducks thing... it gets me every time). - Barrons from Fever.
Barrons is the perfect love interest for Mac. They are both explosive in their own kind of way. And together... *fireworks*.
Barrons is pure, raw power. Intimidating is his first name. Once you get to know him... well, *swoon* (and yes, I'm going to swoon quite a lot before this list is over. Prepare yourselves). - Percy Jackson from Percy Jackson and the Olympians (and The Heroes of Olympus).
Fun fact: Percy was my first book boyfriend.
I love Percy. He constantly makes me laugh, and I always hope for a happily ever after for him and Annabeth. Those two have been through hell and back for each other (literally).
Percy Jackson - the greatest hero (and the one who didn't have to die tragically to be called so). - Leo Valdez from The Heroes of Olympus.
Leo is just plain awesome. You're in a pinch? Call Leo, he always has a plan. And if he doesn't, he'll think of one in no time.
Leo is hilarious, funny, awkward in a charming kind of way and extremely resourceful.
And awesome - did I mention awesome? - Dimitri Belikov from The Vampire Academy.
Rose & Dimitri - another power couple. I freaking love those two. Dimitri is the definition of kickass. - Artemis from Artemis Fowl.
You thought physical power is only what it takes to be on this list? Think again. Artemis is a genius. Sherlock Holmes level genius. He doesn't need physical strength. He can do some serious damage with his mind alone.
Not to mention, he's a criminal. and 12 in the first book. Intrigued yet? - Ash from The Iron Fey.
Oh Ash (*swoon*). I love Ash (*swooning again*). Honestly, I don't know what to say other than: Ash is amazing, Meghan (our protagonist) is amazing, the plot is amazing, the characters are all amazing, and the romance is balanced so well with all the fantasy and action.
You want to read this book - it's amazing (as I think I mentioned). - Pack from The Iron Fey.
Two swoon worthy guys in one series - a rare thing.
While Ash is more in the icy-tortured-hero kind of way, Pack is more in the fiery-hilarious kind of way.
I love Pack. I love Ash. They are both so different and you can't help to love them both. - Baz from Carry On.
I didn't need Carry On to fall in love with Baz. I fell in love with him in Fangirl. Carry On only made me love him more.
And that's it for my Top 10 Kickass Male Protagonist.
What about you? Do you have your own list of Top 10 kickass male\female protagonists?
Feel free to do this fun top 10.
And thanks again to Regan from PeruseProject for giving me the idea to do this myself.
