Fictional Dinner Dates
Week 55 / Prompt 6 - If you could have dinner with five fictional characters from your favorite books, who would you choose and why?

As I was building my list, I realize that my choices fall into two distinct categories: Strong female characters, or sexy male characters. I want to meet the strong female characters because I admire them and would love to know their secrets. I want to meet the sexy male characters because, well, I want to meet that sexy hunk of male and drool over them in person. Grins.

1) Phèdre nó Delaunay, from Kushiel's Legacy series, by Jacqueline Carey -- She is by far my absolute favorite heroine of all time. I have actually always admired her strength, conviction, and skills. Hands down I would give just about anything to meet her in person for dinner.


2) Egwene al'Vere, from Wheel of Time series, by Robert Jordan -- Egwene was an extremely strong woman in the Wheel of Time series. Her ability to manipulate women and men much older than herself, even when things continuously went against her, showed a strength of character that I simply have to admire. I'd learn a lot from her, I would think.


3) Joscelin Verreuil, from Kushiel's Legacy series, by Jacqueline Carey -- Drool factor 10. I'm sure I have a different image in my head than what Jacqueline actually wrote up for Joscelin, but seeing as I connected with Phedre so closely while reading the books, I couldn't help but fall in love with Joscelin. I want to meet him and drool.. and celebrate their union. And drool.


4) Matthew Clairmont, from All Souls Trilogy, by Deborah Harkness -- Another drool factor character. Fell in love with this guy as well, because Deborah did such an amazing job describing him. I actually fell in love with a lot of him, other than just his looks, but his protectiveness, smarts, and much more.  I'd love to meet him and talk history!!


5) Harry Dresden, from the Dresden Files series, by Jim Butcher -- This character is fun. I think he'd be a blast as a dinner buddy, maybe at Mac's over one of his awesome beers. Yep, that needs to happen.
