i’ve been wanting to post this post since forever! in YA there aren’t many male protagonist in fantasy. sure there are those in the main cast of characters but there aren’t many in which they tell their own story.
in adult fantasy however usually the protagonist in male.
here are my favorite :
1- PERCY JACKSON
you had to know he was going to be mentioned! this series is narrated by percy which makes even more fun! reading from a 12 year old kid’s POV can be very interesting. specially when that boy has a snarky attitude and troubles follow him everywhere! percy is great. he’s funny, caring, crazy!, he’s my FAVORITE CHILD! ( who said moms don’t choose a favorite!).
2- DARROW
i mentioned in my review that reading from darrow’s POV was one of the things i loved about red rising. darrow is such a passionate, charismatic male protagonist. even though i’ve only read the first book, i’m still including him as one of my favorite! my baby better have his happy ending!!
3- MAGNUS DAMORA
this series will follow four main characters and the story is told through them. so i’m counting my love magnus as one of my favorite!. he had such a good character development. even though he acts as a bastard most of the time, he heart is made of gold!.
4- KALADIN
my favorite bridge leader!! he’s resourceful, charismatic, passionate where he would rush into danger to save people. he’s definitely a person i would follow. and would want to be in his bridge crew!
– HONORABLE MENTIONS :
Kvothe from the name of the wind — Elias veturius from an ember in the ashes.
WHO’S YOU FAVORITE MALE PROTAGONISTS ?
What a fun post. I feel like we don’t talk about the male protagonists as much as the female ones. I love Percy Jackson, Elias, and Kaladin (even though I haven’t finished that book yet). I need to read Red Rising.

YES! Totally agree with Percy and Magnus! Other favorite male protagonists of ours are Kell from A Darker Shade of Magic, Monty from The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, and Ty from The Dark Artifices (really any of the boys in Cassie’s Clare’s books are our faves!)

With all the hype around Iron Gold, I’ve heard so much about Darrow lately, I’ll have to get reading it soon!
Some of my favs would def be Percy (OUR SASS BABY), Kell and Rhy from ADSOM, Damen and Laurent from Captive Prince, and Thomas Cresswell from Stalking Jack the Ripper 🙂
