Throwdown Thursday is a meme invented by Kate at The Neverending Shelf. It's a weekly thing where we tackle books with similar characters, covers, themes, etc. to determine which one rocks more. And it is up to YOU to determine the winner!
Last week, my throwdown saw Malinda Lo's Ash facing off against Alex Flinn's Beastly. And the winner was...
Both! It was a tie.
These week, I'm throwing down two books which both have kick-ass female protagonists. (Okay, so I'm English, and technically I should say kick-arse, but that sounds lamer.) Both characters have a knack for staying alive, they're both awesome with a bow and arrow, and even their names are pretty evenly matched. So which girl hero gets your vote?
Katsa from Kristin Cashore's Graceling
Or
Katniss from Suzanne Collins' Hunger Games trilogy?

Good choices. My vote is for Hunger Games.
I loved Hunger Games but have not read Graceling yet. I've been told if you love one you'll love the other.
Don't make me choose!! Can I cast two votes? Hunger Games lacks a proper romance but is completely gripping (it's possibly the MOST uninteresting love triangle in history--so far as I'm yet to read CF) and Graceling for being slightly less gripping but having an a-mazing romance. Also the opening was a little weak in my opinion. So I guess if I was at arrow point and just *had* to choose, I'd go with HG. Dystopia=win.
WOW....I loved both these girls, but Im thinking Katniss
Katniss and The Hunger Games for sure!!
I love how you post these--I haven't read Hunger Games yet so I really can't choose. I need toget on the ball though and check that one out!
I haven't read Graceling yet so I'm going to have to choose Katniss.
Oh, I didn't really like Graceling. I'm definitely voting for Hunger Games.
Oh, my. This might be the hardest decision of my week. ::frets::
I'm actually going to have to go with Katniss on this one. But that's only because she's had *two* books and Katsa's only had one. Katniss has had more time to kick-ass.
