Hey everyone! Arika here this week for Top Ten Tuesday. This week we were given the task of coming up with a list of books that spotlight characters with unique similarities. Whether that be characters that play sports, characters who have a similar illness or characters who have the same job. Something that makes them unique but also alike! So I was thinking….what type of books do I love to read and the characters have something that ties them together. When BAM, it hit me, I love characters that have special powers. Whether it is powers to do with reading minds, changing their apprentice or being able to move the earth, there are all sorts of books that have characters with these cool special abilities! So my list here comprises of books that the main character (or characters) have special abilities that make them some cool, wouldn’t want to mess with, I hope they are on my side characters! Hope you enjoy 🙂
First Year by Rachel E. Carter | Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton | Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas | Cinder by Marissa Meyer | Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo | Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo | A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness | The Paper Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg | Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes | Walk on Earth a Stranger by Rae Carson
Question: Have you read any of these? What are some books you have read with characters with special powers?
Ooh I love a good fantasy novel, and reading books like this makes me want to have special powers! I can’t wait to pick up Six of Crows! Also, Harry Potter is my favourite book with ‘special powers’, I know it’s kind of cliché, but it makes me want to be a witch! Great list 🙂

Six of Crows is so good! (I figured I’d leave Harry Potter out since it is always on my lists and is my favorite series haha)

I always saw it pop up on my goodreads and finally got it on sale with my Kindle. It was a really good quick read. I am definitely up for getting the rest of the books and finishing the series!

All hail Leigh Barugo. She really knows how to write a beautiful fantasy book. I love the Grisha universe – all the characters and the different powers they have.
Happy readings!
