As if I needed help in ruling the world! And thus does my evil laughter ensue! BWAHAHAHA!
In all seriousness, though, I have been super excited for this topic! I’m pretty sure I’ve said that for every Tuesday this month, but what can I say? Shanah @ BionicBookworm had some great September Top 5 Topics!
So, without any further ado, the 5 characters I’d rule the world with!
#5- Leliana from Dragon Age: Inquisition
So she’s from a video game and not a book, okay? You can fight me if you want, but Leliana is cunning, ruthless, and will do absolutely ANYTHING she deems necessary to the success of what she believes in. Which sometimes includes kidnapping, assassination, and poison…
#4-Azriel from A Court of Mist and Fury
If I’m going to rule the world, I’ll want someone on my team who CAN LITERALLY CONTROL THE SHADOWS! I mean, that’s good for info-gathering and just straight-up intimidation. Plus, Azriel is a cutie and a mostly good person.
#3-Manon Blackbeak from Empire of Storms
Manon is an all-around BAMF who is stealthy and cunning enough to be a spy, but powerful and ruthless enough to be on the front lines of a fight if I need her. Plus, she very secretly wants to be a good person sshhhhh. And, perhaps most importantly, she comes with Abraxos!!
#2-Kaz Brekker from Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
If you’ve read this book, it should probably come as no surprise that I want Kaz on my team. Ruthless, clever, and more than willing to get his hands dirty (lol), I think he’d be a great addition to my team.
#1-Inej Ghafa, also from the Six of Crows duology
Because, HOLY CANNOLI SOMEONE ON THIS TEAM HAS TO BE GOOD AND PURE!! (Also, I think Azriel and Inej would be good friends so…. yeah) But Inej is clever, witty, and has a faith in people that I think is really lacking from the rest of my team here, so she absolutely comes in at the #1 slot.
I think my choice in world-ruling companions says a lot about me, but please don’t judge me too harshly. I just would rather rule with an iron fist from the shadows where no one would be able to actually come at me because it’s all done in secret and shadows. Is that really too much to ask?
That’s it for this week’s Top 5 Tuesday! Thanks for reading, and don’t forget to check out Shanah’s Top 5 Post!
What do you think about my team choices? Is there anyone you think doesn’t belong? Or maybe you would have added someone else? Let me know in the comments below!

I agree with you on Manon, but I feel like I’d annoy her and she’d kill me and take over the world herself.

That’s a good point! I’d probably make Azriel keep an eye on her for y own peace of mind.

But still, Manon and Azriel in a fight? That seems impossible. Who would win?

Great post! I can definitely agree with Manon. She’s a pretty great leader. Honest, tough, but she has your back.

That’s exactly why I love her! If I were part of her Thirteen, I’d probably hate her sometimes because of how she always pushes people, but i love her and would probably trust her with my life

Haha, I think they all feel that way sometimes but after a while they probably know she’s tough to protect them and because she knows how great they can be. She won’t accept anything but their best!

And she expects the same from herself, which I think is part of what makes her such a great leader. She never asks her Thirteen to do something she wouldn’t be willing to do herself.

Haha, I might be the one mounting a rebellion against your sinister shadow society. 😀 But I love Kaz and Inej, so I may grudgingly give you the benefit of the doubt.

Hahaha I don’t blame you! 😂 As I was making the list, I just kept thinking, “Huh. This is making me look like an evil dictator. I’m the bad guy in every dystopian novel ever made.” 😂

I can’t tell you how much I love this list!! I considered adding Azriel to my list as well. He’s my favourite of the night court crew. Cas is ok, but he’s no Az! And Manon on this list too!!! She’s so fierce!! And the control of the wyverns….. you have an amazing crew – hope we are both on the same team lol!
Thanks again for participating! Adding you to the list 🙂

Hahaha Kaz and Inej are on both our lists, so I think we can work out an alliance 😉
And I feel the same way! I love Cas and Rhys but nothing can beat Az’s quiet confidence and secret snark 😂
And I’d probably add Manon to the crew just for the chance to ride a wyvern 😂
