I’ve really gotten into YA science fiction lately and have enjoyed the crazy robot/genetically altered characters a ton. Those crazies.

Top 10 Favorite Characters in YA Science Fiction
1Lena (Delirium)– Although she makes some crazy decisions, I love Lena’s boldness. She’s a fighter.
2Cinder (Cinder)– I love everything about this lovable cyborg – especially her love of her sister. And her metal foot. 🙂
3Shay (Uglies)– He’s really the most redeeming character in the whole series. He just fell in love with the wrong crazy lady.
4Elliot (For Darkness Shows the Stars)– Elliot stands up for what she thinks is right, despite defying her family to do it. Plus she’s against the subversion of another culture/race.
5Zoe (Glitch)– Zoe was the best in Glitch, I think. Discovering tastes and feelings and learning what falling in love for the first time is like.
6Arthur Dent (Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy)– Arthur is hilarious!! If you want a great laugh, read these books. They can be a bit silly, but they’re totally worth it.
7Perry (Under the Never Sky)– He’s a Savage and don’t you forget it. I just love him and his tribe and his powers.
8Felicia (Level 2)– It’s weird because Felicia is determined and vulnerable all at the same time. Although her story is fragmented and crazy, it really worked.
9Ky (Matched)— I got really annoyed with the second book and haven’t actually finished the series. Ky’s the only one I liked so far, though. Ugh.
10Scarlet (Scarlet)— This is probably cheating, but Scarlet was another kick-ass heroine in the Cinder series. Meyer knows what she’s doing?
