Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's Top Ten list is a Freebie so we decided to do "Top Ten Character Mash Ups" which was inspired by the Bout of Books Character Coupling Challenge!
Nicole's Top Five
So I decided to play matchmaker this Tuesday. Here are my new couples...
1. Prince Dorian from Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas and Kelsea from The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen - They have so much in common! They are both royalty - Kelsey inherited a corrupt kingdom and Dorian is set to inherit one - they have magic, they are resilient and good! They would make a perfect pair and can rule the world!
2. Victor Vale from Vicious by Victoria Schwab and Adelina Amouteru from The Young Elites by Marie Lu - they both have powers and and are driven by revenge and darkness but they also have goodness in their hearts. Maybe they could find comfort in each other (or just destroy the world).
3. Dee Montgomery from Open Road Summer by Emory Lord and Christian Prescott from Unearthly by Cynthia Hand - because they are both perfect.
4. Ronan from The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater and Jane Morgan from the Maids of Honor series by Jennifer McGowan - they are both tough and a little scary but completely loyal.
5. Jackal from The Eternity Cure by Julie Kagawa and Katherine Pierce from The Vampire Diaries by L. J. Smith (the tv version) - because they are both evil and selfish but I like to think there is goodness in both of them.
PS: This list was so much harder to create than I thought it would be! I intended to mix and match characters without a care to whether they had a romantic partner already but then I found that I liked most relationships I read and didn't want to mess with them. And then I realized there are a lot more single men than women (what the heck!). I should have just done friendships and called it a day (Katsa and Celaena would be epic friends).
PPS: I purposefully did not pair Prince Nikolai with anyone because he is MINE. The end.
Ashley's Top Five
So I tried to do couples but I like so many couples as they are written I just could not even think of matching them up with someone else. I decided to go with mashing up characters that would make awesome, epic friendships!
1. Kami from The Lynburn Legacy by Sarah Rees Brennan and Maggie Also Known As by Robin Benway. This two have awesome personalities, they both are super witty with a great sense of humor not to mention they both are ready to take on the world.
2. Eleanor from Something Strange and Deadly by Susan Dennard and Tessa from The Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. These ladies battle the supernatural and handle crazy magical occurrences all while wearing elegant gowns. Imagine the team they could make.
3. Cress from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer and Cath from Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. Both girls are fantastic nerds, I think they would could be great friends!
4. Cassie from The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey and Lynn from Not a Drop to Drink by Mindy McGinnis. Tough! Cassie and Lynn have had to face tragic circumstances and have had to learn to take care of themselves. They could take on anything together.
5. Katy from Obsidian by Jennifer L. Armentrout and Bliss from Losing It by Cora Carmack. Awkward, fun, and smart girls. Bliss' propensity for making awkward encounters would pair well with Katy's snarky personality!
