What are some of your favorite character driven novels?
The Raven Boys, All the Truth That’s In Me and The Scorpio Races are all on my TBR. 🙂 Great selection!
Thanks! I definitely recommend you try all of them! 🙂
I listed The Raven Boys too and almost put The Scorpio Races on my list but thought that might be too much Maggie Stiefvater. Really, though, can you have too much of these wonderful novels? Great list.
My TTT
Thanks! I thought about only using one of her books, but I figured it was ok because her characters really make the stories for me!
Great list Stephanie. I loved Gone Girl. I really need to read some Maggie Stiefvater…
Thanks! Maggie Stiefvater writes some amazing characters. You should definitely check her out!
Raven Boys! Love those boys so much, such incredible characters… but the plot of their stories is border-line ridiculous. I wish I could take the boys and put them in different books.
Agreed!
Scorpio Races is definitely a good example I forgot. All those crazy determined people, risking their lives…
Ooh I loved The Scorpio Races! Good choice. I need to read The Raven Boys, I might start that next.
Thanks! You should definitely start the Raven Boys. They are some of my favorite characters ever.
I haven’t read any of these! I’m not surprised to see two books by Maggie Stiefvater, the only book I’ve read by her, Sinner would make my list. I just loved the little inside jokes and nicknames. The only other book to make my list would probably be Matched. Though I like strong characters I actually don’t read many that would be considered character driver.
I haven’t gotten to Sinner yet. I started the first book in the series, but then got distracted by other books and I haven’t made it back to it yet. I do have to say I love the Raven Cycle series way better.
