Top Ten Characters I’d Like To Switch Places With
(submitted by Sara @ A Gingerly Review)
My rule for this is that I’m only switching for a day, I’m switching my consciousness into their body, and I’m playing their plot, not going off on my own adventure.
- Rose Hathaway from Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead: I’d like to trade places with her because she is such a confident badass.
- Evie O’Neill from The Diviners series by Libba Bray: Her stories are terrifying, but I’d love to see 1920s New York through Evie’s eyes.
- Speth from All Rights Reserved by Gregory Scott Katsoulis: I’d like to see her super commercialised world for myself, but I could definitely only last one day.
- Lirael from the Old Kingdom series by Garth Nix: Out of Sabriel and Lirael, I’d rather experience Lirael’s plot. I’d love to see Charter magic and go on crazy adventures with the Disreputable Dog.
- Fire from Fire by Kristin Cashore: I love everything about Fire’s life, including Brigan, so I’d be OK with this.
- Katsa from Graceling by Kristin Cashore: I’d love to experience the kind of confidence, control, ability, and fearlessness that Katsa has.
- Azalea from Entwined by Heather Dixon: Similar to Katsa, I’d love to inhabit the body of someone who can actually dance, and I’d love to have so many sisters for a day. Just a day, though.
- Chiyo/Sayuri from Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden: I’d love to experience life as a successful geisha, especially since the art of geisha is kind of the opposite to my own personality. To be a professional entertainer, to dance and engage in conversation for the pleasure of men, the clothes and hair and makeup, that’d be something interesting to experience.
- Tea from The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco: Similarly to above, I’d love to experience a day in the life of an asha, basically a magical geisha in this world.
- Yelena from Poison Study by Maria V Snyder: How amazing would it be to live like Yelena for a day, to be a magician and have her amazing support network (not to mention sexy husband lol).

I am so with you about wanting to be Lirael!
Nemo
It’s funny, because I think when her first book was released, everyone was like, “She’s a boring librarian whereas Sabriel is an ass-kicking necromancer fighter” but Lirael actually has a lot of redeeming qualities and a very interesting book.
