Oh Mei I second you on that!!

Kaylin definitely kick ass and her interactions with the Dragon Lords Diarmat /Sanabalis, Tiamaris and esp. with the Arkon is highly amusing!!!  I have been meaning to reread this series ever since Cast in Ruins came out but sigh...it'd probably take me forever.   Did you understand the whole series??  I had questions, no... make them a gazillion questions on this series.   When is author ever going to write about nightshade for more than 3 chapters?? I'm so curious about him!!


Hmmm.. although let's agree to disagree on Phèdre.  She thrives on "it" without which she'd probably feel life is boring 

With shame I must admit that I haven't still read the last two books...
Yes, I also always wanted to know her story with Nightshade!!!

Nooo... you didn't like Phèdre??? Why???

Thank you! I have those books, but with my TBR pile is 1000 books high, you know... they got lost in the middle... 

Yes, I understand... I also don't like the violence, etc... but I liked her character a lot. Besides, the books were beatufully written, with very nice language and descriptions. I like also the atmsphere and the world-building. The first book grabbed my attention since the first line: "Lest anyone should suppose that I am a cuckoo's child, got on the wrong side of the blanket by lusty peasant stock and sold into indenture in a shortfallen season, I may say that I am House-born and reared in the Night Court proper, for all the good it did me." Wow!!! I just have to know why! 

Well, I think Kelley Armstrong has brought us alot of stong kick a$$ women, Elaina, Paige and most definately Eve are my faves from Women of The Otherworld Series. Chloe From her Darkest Powers Series is so sweet yet strong with a heart og gold and a spine of pure steel.
I agree Anita Blake rocks. And Cat Crawfield.
Mercy Thompson is another big fave of mine. And Anna from Alpha and Omega series.
Victoria from the Gardella Vampire Chronicles is very strong given the time its set in.
There are a ton more I could name.
I agree the "Bella" type grates. grrr (and on a side note, im soooo annoyed with her, my Mum and Nan are Named Isabella, and when I wanted to call my Daughter Isabella i get "oooh someone's a die hard Twilight fan", hmmmm nearly commited a few GBH crimes there)

My all times fav is Selene from Underworld.The new movie UNDERWORLD AWAKENING comes out Jan.20.2012.

I cannot wait either, the trailor looks gooooood.

I like the heroine of Being Jamie Baker and the series of Jaz Parks. They are reaslly Bad-ass and though sometimes have bad decisions or really stupid thing to say they are still independent and have their own piece of mind to share. 

i haven't read Being Jamie Baker or Jaz Parks by Jennifer Rardin but i like the covers, are they good?

i have to agree with many of the above, here is who my list has
Yelena
Alanna
Tris
Katsa
Rhine
Sonea


they were all good strong female characters who not just necessarily were good at fighting, but they were intelligent and didnt have none of this new age damsel in distress nonsense. i hate those female chracters that are so insecure and/or play around with two different guys hearts, i feel some of those particular plots are not to good, one of those would deffintely be Bella and Elena from vampire diaries ( series and book)
