Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas My rating: 5 of 5 stars "Things from legends—that’s who surrounded him. The witches, the spider … He might as well have been a character in one of the books he’d lent Aelin last fall." "She was no helpless princess. She had never been." Do you love a good epic fantasy? If so, read this series! This thing was more satisfying and enthrallling than it had any right to be. That goes for this book and the story as a whole. The character the whole story revolves around is for the most part unlikeable. She's brave and intense and self-sacrificing, but she's a terrible person, too. I freaking love that.

Fascinating Fanart: Daenerys Targaryen

Daenerys Targaryen is one of the main characters on Game of Thrones or in the book series, A Song of Ica and Fire .  She's one of those truly layered, full-circle characters.  Is this why people love her so much?  I can tell you why I do.  She starts off as nothing but a bargaining chip for advancing the power of men and evolves into this badass warrior queen.  That whole journey aside, she's constantly learning and adapting and isn't that the type of character you naturally root for?  She falls damn-near constantly but absolutely refuses to bow down or give up.  So call her what you want: Khaleesi of the Great Grass Sea, Mother of Dragons, Daenerys Stormborn or The Queen Across the Sea.  She's every single one of them.  Oh, yeah... she also has her own dragons .
