Hello, welcome back to another Tuesday. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme is:
All About The Villains – I don’t think we’ve done a villains topic since back in November 2010 so let’s revisit: top ten favorite/most compelling villains in books, top ten of the most vile villains/bad guys in books, top ten villains I secretly (or not so secretly) love, favorite tv villains, favorite comic book villains, ten “villains” of contemporary lit.
I’m going with Unforgivable Villains, because there are so many of those…
My Tiny Obsessions 
I totally agree with Forbidden the mum was way out of line and because of the that she lost all of her children in an emotionally devastating way but I can understand the fact she thought it was wrong but she went about it in completely the wrong way. Awful character and I wanted so bad to slap her near the end.
for me it wasn’t even that she thought it was wrong (because it was), but it was her absence and her dumping her responsibilities on her children that led to it in the first place. She just treated all, especially Lochan, so horribly.
see personally i don’t think it was wrong because they never saw each other as siblings they saw each other as friends. I thought the ending was to easily written with Lochan dying as it could have gone a completely different and more difficult route but that doesn’t make me love it any less
you’re right about it not being wrong, not in that way. I did love their relationship, and yep, his death was the “easy” way out, because it would have been so much harder if they had to live with it.
yes but I personally felt that if Lochan didn’t die and they had to live with it. It would have left an amazing opening for a sequel maybe set a few years in the future or something like that.
yeah, but it would be such a hard life…
I know and that would be the point of the sequel to see whether they could survive the life they had chosen to live.
i would feel sorry for them and those kids 😦
lol I know right she needs to write a need book like now!
I agree with most of your list! (I haven’t read the rest of the books). Umbridge is even worse than the real villain, which is voldemort. And yes, Forbidden’s mom is really neglectful and just terrible to put her children in such situation. I would say I hate Tessa’s brother more than the Magister though! I mean… he’s her brother!
I didn’t even remember Nate, but yep, you’re right. But I just felt like he was such a weak character, you know?
I’ve seen the Commander from An Ember in the Ashes on several lists so far, and it makes me even more excited to read it! I love a book with a good villain 🙂 Great list!
oh, she’s awful. Read the book!
And now I want to read Hopeless. I am intrigued by the villain angle. I have never really encountered a real villain in any of the CoHo books that I have read.Great list!
well… he’s definitly a villain… go read it, so I can discuss it further 😛
I HATE Dolores Umbridge! She was the first one that came to mind for my Top Ten. She’s so evil, and those pink sweater sets drive me nuts 😒 Didn’t think of the Magister!
Umbridge is the WORST!
OMG! I had Mum on my list, too! 🙂 She’s horrible! And I love your certain someone for Hopeless. Wish I would have thought of that one!
My TTT.
the mom in forbidden is the worst. somehow, I hate bad parents more than actual villains… go figure!
I’ve only just started An Ember in the Ashes, but just from the first scene with the Commander and the revelation that she’s Elias’ mother I can tell she’s going to be a scary villain.
My TTT
she’s just so cold! I was reading and thinking “how could Elias come from THAT?!”
Queen Elara definitely doesn’t get better in Glass Sword … I could tell you a spoiler though that might change things.
YES PLEASE! Spoil me!
Well, she dies. She’s proper dead now and I think she was just a burnt corpse, which the rebellion broadcasted. But now I am not sure I remember that right. Her son did not take all too well to that.
ohhh, nice! 😀 is he crazier now?
SO MUCH CRAZIER! But I still love him. He might just be my favourite character in the books, which is probably not a healthy sign.
maybe because he’s the only truly multidimensional one? Just taking a guess here
Not really, they really worked on a couple of side characters to make them more fleshed out. Still … I cannot get over how much of a disappointment Glass Sword was in comparison to Red Queen.
that’s why i haven’t read it yet
i don’t know, i just can’t be disappointed by it… i hope book 3 is a lot better
I hope so too!
I put down Warner as a villain I love in my TTT 😊 Paris sucks, but at least he had an awesome son! No thanks to him of course… great list!
eheh, Warner… i can’t see him as a villain anymore 😉
I one hundred percent agree on Umbridge like omg she is horrible and Amarantha too. I think she is even more evil than the King of Hybern! Great post! 🙂
she’s just so twisted, eheh
I agree completely about Umbridge – Voldemort had depth and dimension. Umbridge just made me want to pop her head off 😉 My TTT
