Top 5 Wednesday was originally created and run by Lainey aka gingerreadslainey (Youtube channel) but it is now being run by Sam aka Thoughts on tomes (Youtube channel). Each week there is a different topic. You can check out the groups Goodreads page here for any more information and the future topics. This week’s topic is books to give as gifts. For this one, I’ve decided to share 5 books to gift to any fantasy lover who loves fantastic female protagonists. Basically I’m taking this opportunity to talk about some of my favourite fantasy books. You guys know I love the genre and I like to take any opportunity to talk about my favourites. All the books I’m going to mention are fantastic and I would highly recommend checking them out. Sorry for the long title – I couldn’t work out how to shorten it. Let’s get started.
-
Sabriel / Garth Nix / Female protagonist: Sabriel
-
The Gift / Alison Croggon / Female protagonist: Maerad
-
The Beast Player / Nahoko Uehashi / Female protagonist: Elin
-
The Bear and the Nightingale / Katherine Arden / Female protagonist: Vasya
-
The Final Empire / Brandon Sanderson / Female protagonist: Vin
All of these books are fantastic and I love the female protagonists so of course I’m taking the opportunity to share them. Have you read any of these books? I’d love to know what you thought. I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I will see you next time.
I loved The Bear and the Nightingale, and I loved Vasya.
