If Brandon Sanderson was chosen to complete the series, then it must be a somewhat similar style.<br /><br />As for numbering the characters? That's pretty much impossible within a selection like this! ;)<br /><br />And I agree, having too many new release books on the list can leave out others, but since I haven't read the other books,I couldn't exactly include them. Next time!Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09672829028363509427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-60570558265003680912012-10-30T22:31:19.621-04:002012-10-30T22:31:19.621-04:00I love so many of the books of this list!

I saw the numbers and figured that was a rank...Ah. I saw the numbers and figured that was a ranking system.<br /><br />Polgara is from Eddings's Belgarion based books. She has a 3000 year backstory. Her prequel can make a grown man cry.<br /><br />Kahlan is from Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. After about the first few books, it does get fairly mature at points.<br /><br />Karigan is from Britain's Green Rider series.<br /><br />Annabeth is from Riordan's Percy Jackson books. <br /><br />The "wondergirls" are from Jordan's Wheel of Time. Wondergirls is the fan term for them as a group since they are all very close friends and are all very powerful magically and personality wise.<br /><br />Nothing is wrong with using characters from recent books. Katnis has thousands of girls wanting to take up an ancient sport in archery. Raisa is a good character in her own way. Vin overcomes so much in her short existence. The side-effect of being top heavy with recent releases is that they can crowd out others that can be more deserving.<br /><br />Sorry about the anon post.

Just a suggestion for your to-read pile though...if you're looking for kick-butt heroine's try Tamora Pierce's books. Her main female protagonists consist of two knights, a mage, a spy, and a cop if that tells you anything. :) Happy Reading!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-30407767805089365242012-10-30T19:46:50.014-04:002012-10-30T19:46:50.014-04:00Thank you!!!
