I love reading about fiction and writing about dark fantasy and horror! 
My favorite characters of all time are: 

1. Reyna Avila Ramirez Arellano (Heroes of Olympus Series by Rick Riordan)
2. Jude Duarte (The Folk of the Air Series by Holly Black)
3. Suren (The Stolen Heir Series by Holly Black)
4. Donatella Dragna (Caraval Series by Stephanie Garber)
5. Elizabeth (Beth) Harmon (The Queen's Gambit by Walter Tevis)

I WILL ACCEPT NO CRITICISM ON THEM, THEY ARE THE BEST I LOVE THEM. 

'The Cruel Prince' is legit the BEST FANTASY SERIES there is, no seconds (except maybe 'Caraval', that's also good.) Definitely read them, they are FANTASTIC. 

Currently writing fantasy series called 'A Game of Cards', feel free to check it out!
