This week’s topic is Top Ten Tuesday #120: I decided to show strong female characters who want more from their worlds. No matter the genre and the obstacle their overcome it and become stronger!

10: Eloise from "Off Book" by Jessica Dall: Eloise is a character who waits to be written! She doen't know in what kind of book she will end or if she will survive the Plot. So, when a serious threat arises, she will embark on a journey to save all the written characters!
9: Tessa Gray from the "Infernal Devices" by Cassandra Clare: Tessa grew up just like any girl in 19th century. But seeing how strong a femal can be in the Shadowhunter world, she slowly changes her view of the world.
8: Yelena from "Poison Study" by Maria V. Snyder: Although she is considered even lower than a slave, the poison taster, she learns how to defend herself and even discovers a plot against the Commander!
7: Ella from "Ella Enchanted" by Gail Carson Levine: A different Cinderella stroy where Ella is the rebel and wants to escape the norms of her curse! A delightful read, which I picked up after watching the movie!
6: Ismae from "Grave Mercy" by Robin LaFevers: I still need to read this series. The idea of female assassins in this time period is amazing!
4: Lucy Piper from "The Untold Tale" by J.M. Frey: Pip is a 21st century independent woman who is thrown into a fantasy world were women are supposed to either be "damsels in distress" or mothers. Of course she doesn't agree with this book's plot! :)
3: Audrey Rose from "Stalking Jack the Ripper" by Kerri Maniscalco: Aubrey wants to work as a forensic scientist, a job which is only exclusive to men. Yeah, try keeping this girl away from what she loves to do, even if it includes studying...corpses.
2: Celaena Sardothien/Aelin from "Throne of Glass" by Sarah J. Maas: It's not only Celaena who is shown as an empowered person in this series. All the female characters in one way or another are strong, don't fear to love and want more from being just women.
1: Elisa from "The Girl of Fire and Throns" by Rae Carson: A sheltered princess who must survive assassination attempts and discover the history of her own people. Definitely one of the best YA out there!
