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. This week’s topic is Favorite Secondary/Minor Characters.
1. Grey from A Curse so Dark and Lonely (Cursebreakers #1) by Brigid Kemmerer (5 stars)
Note: Grey does become a main character in the next book, but I fell in love with his character in the first installment while he was still a secondary.
2. The Horse Cloak from Once More Upon a Time by Roshani Chokshi (4 stars)
3. Minseok Moon from Once Upon a K-Prom by Kat Cho (3 stars)
4. Nina Zenik from Six of Crows (Six of Crows #1) by Leigh Bardugo (5 stars)
5. Nico di Angelo from The Titan’s Curse (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #3) by Rick Riordan (4 stars)
6. Finnick Odair from Catching Fire (The Hunger Games #2) by Suzanne Collins (4 stars)
7. Danika Fendyr from House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City #1) by Sarah J. Maas (5 stars)
8. Bartholomew from The Knight and the Moth (The Stonewater Kingdom #1) by Rachel Gillig (4 stars)
9. Macey McHenry from Don’t Judge a Girl by Her Cover (Gallagher Girls #3) by Ally Carter (4 stars)
10. Jane Fairfax from Emma by Jane Austen (5 stars)
Yes, the Horse Cloak from OMUAT is one of my favorite characters. Do we share any picks from this list?

Finnick is such a complex character especially surprising since on first glance he seems so superficial.

Finnick, Danika, Nico…. forgotten! Minseok was actually on my list but got swapped for another character.

I agree with the Hunger Games and the Percy Jackson one for sure! I have not read those books in years so thanks for the nostalgia!
