This is such a brilliant idea! Jude Duarte is definitely one of the strongest women I’ve read, and I’m not sure if I’d be able to do what Katniss did haha. Happy International Women’s Day 🙂

So interesting you included Alessandra! I think she’s a bit divisive. I’m torn on her myself because she’s pretty feminist but also rather cruel! It was an interesting book, at least, and I love how different she is from many YA protagonists.

I get that! But personally I love morally grey characters! She reminds me of Jude from The Folk of the Air trilogy in that sense!

Ah, yes, that’s true! Jude can be a bit cruel, as well, though readers seem to like her a lot more!
