Here is the last 8 protagonists and a little bit about then, that will battle if off, for the title of: Angel Reads’ favourite 

1. Hazel Grace from The Fault in Our Stars by John Green:

Hazel Grace Lancaster was diagnosed with cancer at a young age, and had essentially stopped living life. Until Augustus Waters comes along and teaches her that life isn’t about what happens to you, but what you can make of it. Granted an infinity within an acute number of days, Hazel is taught to open her eyes, heart, and mind to the life she could have, if only she let herself have it.  Hazel Grace Lancaster is a 16 year old bookworm with an oxygen tank. She’s hasn’t got magic powers or awesome physical abilities (especially not with lung cancer restricting everything she does) but has a strong will to prove herself against the battles cancer presents her with. She’s okay. Hazel is a caring and quite witty character who strives through the book, to prove to the world that she can fight the stereotypes people put against cancer patients.

2. Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins:

Living in district 12, one of the poor districts, her life has not been easy and after the death of her father and subsequent mental breakdown of her mother she becomes independent and disillusioned. The most important thing in the world to her is her sister, Primrose, she would do anything to protect her, and proves this. She did not ask to become a heroine or a symbol and yet when she is thrown into the limelight she picks herself up and keeps going.  Katniss thinks for herself and doesn’t let others make up her mind for her.  She isn’t perfect . . . far from it, in fact. But she is strong, she is a provider, she is a survivor. She does what she needs to do in order to protect those who love her and those she loves. She is funny, too. She is a reluctant face to a rebellion, but she does what she has to do. In the arenas, in the capital, in life.

3. Clary Fray from The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare:

Clary Fray is a 15 year old, red head girl living in New York, where an eternal battle between good bad threatens the safety of the mundane and magical worlds on a regular basis, she thought she was living in a normal word. She could not have been more wrong. The daughter of two Shadowhunters, people tasked with protecting the world from the supernatural, Clary is far from anything normal. Armed with a best friend and extremely cute Shadowhunter, Clary faces danger at every turn, growing into and becoming a truly badass heroine that can take care of herself. . She may be small, but has a special ability to create her own magic runes and her daring and willingness to protect those she loves gives her spunk that every heroine needs.

4. Noah from Pushing the Limits by Katie McGarry:

On the outside, Noah Hutchins seems like a jerk. He appears to be self-absorbed with an air of arrogance about him, emphasized by the fact that girls are always throwing themselves at him. Noah uses girls and drugs, pretending not to care about either one.  However, on the inside Noah is a very different person.  As we get to know him and we learn about the pain he conceals, it is evident that his attitude is only an attempt to ease his afflictions.  The other side of Noah emerges throughout the book, surprising Echo and the readers alike.  He is loyal to his friends. He protects and defends those he cares about and he has a kind heart.  Echo brings out this side of him as they become allies, trying to face their own demons and find healing together.

5. Adrian from Bloodlines by Richelle Mead:

Adrian Ivashkov is the lovable bad-boy with quite the reputation. He’s a Moroi (good vampire) of a Royal bloodline, and specialises in a rare magic called Spirit that is slowly driving him insane. He is constantly underestimated by others, but as the story continues, we see that Adrian is one of the strongest characters in the series. He loves fiercely, is deeply loyal, and has a wicked sense of humour. It’s these traits that often see him take the fall for others – and consequently get hurt badly – but they’re also the traits that see him through to the other side, making him even stronger.

6. Aria from Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi:

Aria is so strong considering that all things she thought we true aren’t. She went through so much at the beginning both mentally and physically and it was only in the first few chapters and she grew more and more in strength throughout. We also see the change in Aria over the course of the story. Aria is totally different at the end of the novel from the start.

7. Sydney Sage from Bloodlines by Richelle Mead:

Sydney Sage is usually the brains behind the operation. Whether that operation is hiding wanted fugitives, keeping Royals in witness protection at all costs, plotting sinister revenge against those who dare hurt her loved ones, or hunting down corrupt Alchemists who are hellbent on making her life miserable. She herself is an Alchemist (human who has been raised to keep Vampires a secret from other humans), one who over time comes to realise that everything she’d grown up being told, was a lie. Sydney is a book-smart girl, but watching her learn to think for herself and break free from the shackles of her past is fascinating. 

8. Rose Hathaway from Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead:

Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir (half Vampire, half human) who is fierce, butt-kicking, and has a sharp tongue that often gets her into almost as much trouble as her fists do. She always rushes into situations headfirst with no regard for possible consequences to her actions. Initially Rose seems to think that she is the best of the best, but as the story moves forward, she fast discovers that she has a lot of growing up to do, and a lot to learn. She has a habit of being in the wrong place at the wrong time and is a bit of a heart-breaker. Rose does grow into a strong character though, who is more than capable of taking charge. Rose becomes a fighter, she doesn’t take no for an answer and always with every inch in her body tries and protects the ones that mean the world to her, even if she doesn’t know it at the time. Rose may do things that don’t always end up with the best results but she does have good intentions. 

And remember next Saturday voting beings!
