Hello Lovelies! I saw Surbhi @Bemused Bibliophile & Susan @ Novel lives do this tag in honor of the Game of Thrones season 8 premiere, and I knew I just had to do it. I am a BIG Game of Thrones fan and I just couldn’t resist! Let’s go ahead and just jump right in:
π»ππ£ππ¨π ππ§ππ€ ~ πΉππ€π₯ ππππππ π€πππππππ
β΄Β Abraxos (Throne of Glass Series) β΄
Abraxos is just a precious little baby that I want to hug forever and ever. The scenes where he is sniffing wildflowers because he has never been able to see flowers before is one of my favorite scenes in the whole series. His and Manon’s relationship is just such a gem to me!

β΄Β Eric (True Blood/Sookie Stackhouse Series) β΄
Eric… As soon as he showed up, I knew there was more to him and, once it was confirmed that there was, I couldn’t have loved him more!
βππππππ πΉπ£π π₯πππ£π€ ~ πππ πππ€π₯ & π¨π π£π€π₯ π€ππππππ ππͺππππππ€ π₯πππ₯ πͺπ π¦ πππ§π ππ§ππ£ π£πππ
β΄Β Blackthorn Family (The Dark Artifices Series) β΄
Can a family be any more perfect than the Blackthorns? They are always there for each other and so supportive of one another. Their dedication to each other moves me to tears whenever I think about it and I couldn’t love them more!
……
Sang & Marie Sorenson (The Ghost Bird Series)
The dynamic between Sang and Marie is truly messed up. If someone would have told me about it instead of me having read it for myself, I probably wouldn’t have believed them. And it is so sad because Sang is sweet, gentle, and one of the kindest people imaginable. The way her sister treats her is abhorrent to me and I hope that one day Sang stops forgiving her and finally stands up for herself.

Will Herondale. That Epilogue shocked me to my core and tore my heart out more than I could have thought possible. I am still really angry at Cassie for putting me through that!

β΄Β Zara Dearborn (The Dark Artifices Series) β΄
*SPOILERS FOR Queen of Air and Darkness! YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!*
I am SOOOOO angry that Zara did not get what was coming for her in Queen of Air and Darkness! She is a despicable person that makes me ashamed to be associated in the same race as her.

β΄Β Cersei Lannister (A Song of Ice and Fire) β΄
Donβt get me wrong, Cersei is a bad person. Sheβs done horrible things to keep herself and the people she cares about safe. BUT I have a hard time completely villainizing her, when we praise other characters (such as Arya Stark) for doing the exact same thing. Arya literally killed Walder Freyβs sons, baked them into a pie, and then fed them to their father. Fans praised her for it and cheered her on. If Cersei would have done that, the internet would have blown up with how evil and vile she was.
How come one character is a monster while another is a hero? The answer is perspective. We are inclined since the very beginning of A Game of Thrones to hate the Lannisters and love the Starks. But, in all honesty, is Cersei that much different from Arya? Cersei is doing what she has to to survive and giving out retribution to the ones that have wronged her. Iβm not saying that this excuses her actions, but it does make me more understanding of who Cersei is and why she does the things she does.

β΄Β Lysandra (Throne of Glass Series) β΄
*SPOILERS FOR Empire of Storms! YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!*
Lysandra was literally willing to impersonate Aelin for the rest of her life and basically give up her own life choices for her friend. If that doesn’t scream undying loyalty, I don’t know what does!
ππ π πππ π¨ ~ πΈ ππππ£πππ₯ππ£ π¨ππ πππ€ ππππππ£π€πππ‘ π₯ππ£π¦π€π₯ π¦π‘π π π₯πππ
β΄Β Darrow (Red Rising Series) β΄
All Darrow wanted to do was live a quiet and normal life, but that was taken away from him SO quickly. He was thrust into this plan to overthrow an empire and so much responsibility was put on his shoulders. He became basically a leader of a rebellion over night.
πΉπ£ππ ππ₯ππ£π ~ πΈ ππππ£πππ₯ππ£ π π£ ππ π π π¨ππ₯π π π§ππ£πͺ ππ π π πππ€ππππππ₯πͺ π£ππ‘π£ππ€πππ₯ππ₯ππ π
β΄Β Chaol (Throne of Glass Series) β΄
I’m gonna have to agree with Surbhi on this one. The representation that Chaol’s character brought to Tower of Dawn was phenomenal. It really opened my eyes and I felt like it was done extremely well.
ππππ π»π£π ππ ~ πΈ ππππ£πππ₯ππ£ πͺπ π¦ π₯ππππ ππ€ πππ£π ππ£π π π₯ππ π π¦π₯π€πππ ππ¦π₯ π πππ π€π ππ₯ππ ππ£π π π₯ππ πππ€πππ
β΄Β Valiant (New Species Series) β΄
I feel like Valiant is the epitome of this question. He was literally experimented on with lion DNA and looks like a monster on the outside. But on the inside, he is just a sweet teddy bear that wants to live in peace after all that he has been through. His book melted my heart!

Lovely answers!
I agree with you on so many of them! Abraxox is my baby literallyπ and you are so true about Lysandra and Cersei! I think that Cersei is what the world made her, she wasn’t born evil but she had to become that way to survive. Like so many other characters! Almost every character from GOT has done one vile thing or the other, except maybe Jon Snow so, I think we judge Cersei too harshly, I mean she did the walk of shame and I think that incident killed whatever little humanity was left inside her!!
Also, I am still salty over the ending of Clockwork Princess!!!
