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 of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Every week, Jana assigns a topic and creates a post for everyone to link to.

This week’s topic is: Unlikable Characters You Can’t Help but Love. This is a hard one, because most unlikeable characters kind of stay that way, though there are some who are redeemable. I couldn’t come up with 10 that I wanted to feature, but here is who I came up with:

Legend from the Caraval trilogy

Death from The Book Thief

Saedii from the Aurora Cycle trilogy

AIDAN from The Illuminae Files trilogy

Mox from The Chosen Ones

Prince Cardan from The Folk of the Air trilogy

Mr. Gray from The Raven Cycle series
