TTT: Six Villains that are fantastically brilliant

TTT: Six Villains that are fantastically brilliant

October 5, 2016 Posted by angelreads Features, Top Ten Tuesday 5 Comments

TTT

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they post a new Top Ten list that members at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. All bloggers are then welcomed to join. This week’s topic is: Top Ten Bookish Villains.

Villains always intrigue me. I love seeing how their minds work, how they have become who they are. I like seeing that some are just plain evil, while others are villains in different ways. My list isn’t particularly long or in an order.

Lada from And I Darken: Lada was fierce and scary and totally took me by surprise. I cannot wait to get into her head again  | Review

Voldemort from Harry Potter: Another villain that I find quite interesting, he had a pretty crap upbringing, but still held a prejudice towards people. 

Villain from Lady Midnight: Okay so I haven’t named who this person is because the reader doesn’t know until the end. But this person was intriguing and daring. I cannot wait to see what Lord of Shadows brings | Review

Queen Levana from the Lunar Chronicles: Terrifying much. So transfigured and overwhelmed by her desires that she makes a perfect villain. 

Sebastian Morgenstern from The Mortal Instruments: Horrifying, manipulative, and oh so evil; yet very interesting. 

Lillian from the Worldwalker Trilogy: Does some pretty horrible stuff, is manipulative, but she is not the only evil one | Review Trial by Fire, Firewalker. 

Okay so I don’t have a list of 10, but close enough. What are some of your favourite villains? Do we share any? Let’s Chat!

    A villain from TMI made our list this week, though it was Valentine! I never really think about Sebastian much from that series, but you are right, he really is an interesting villain!

    My TTT.

    I loved Sebastian as a character–didn’t think of him as a villain, more of a misunderstood dude. He did terrible things, but I think he didn’t know any better. I have yet to read the Lunar Chronicles, but oh, how am I excited to meet Levana. SO PSYCHED! I am hoping to get my hands on And I Darken soon, too. Oh, by the way, are you going to read Heartless by Marissa Meyer? Thinking about asking for that one at some point. It sounds super interesting.

      Very misunderstood indeed. And yes totally agree. I really enjoyed Levana – she was horrible but enjoyable. I really enjoyed And I Darken, I am pretty sure I have a review on here of that. Yes I am, I am on the blog tour for it, so will be posting my review during November. Thanks for commenting.

I have a love-hate relationship with this series. I have a love-hate relationship with this series. But I ended up really enjoying this one. It’s best friends to fake dating to-lovers. It’s always been you, bad-boy/good-girl, and I loved that. While Save Your Breath has quite a few tropes, it really leads itself to it, and it works. 

Aleks and Mia have known each other for years now. Since they were teenagers, that angst has been building up this whole time. And you can tell right from the get-go, it’s fantastic. I even wanted more of it, because I love pain. When Aleks went to live with Mia’s family as a teenager, sparks flew, but for many reasons, they both put their feelings aside. And well, now they are not only going to be fake-dating, but they might as well be engaged, too. 

I really enjoyed seeing how both Aleks and Mia both tried to hide how they were feeling throughout the whole ‘fake-dating’ situation, but anyone could see it. They know each other as no one else does. Aleks has a lot going on, and while I do think this was brushed over a little too much, Mia is his centre. Mia is a massive music star and is a female in the industry, so yeah, people don’t respect her. Obvsiouly because why couldn’t a female star be badass and write about the things that she has gone through? Aleks and Mia get each other, and that is very clear from the start; they are both just trying to squash everything. We get to see them slowly start to show how they feel, and well, one night it all explodes. 

Overall, I enjoyed this one a lot; it’s not my favourite of the series, but I had a great time reading it. I liked Aleks and Mia a lot as characeters and while I think the mental health aspect could have been explored a whole lot more, I can see why it wasn’t. The romance was slow and spicy, the angst was great, and the payoff for these two was what they needed.

Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I onl Well February wasn’t the best reading month. I only ended up reading 3 books in. 3 pretty fun books but one of my slowest readings months in a while. 

And I’m going to be honest here it’s because I’ve been constantly reading Heated Rivalry fanfics. 🤷‍♀️ I’m having the best time though. 

How was your reading in February? Any 5  star reads?
