Top 5 Wednesday is a weekly meme, GoodReads group here with all the topics + discussion!
This week’s topic is: Mother Figures
(Apparently, it’s Mother’s Day in the US this week?)
1) Maura Sargent (+ basically all the ladies at 300 Fox Way)
The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater
These ladies are AWESOME.
Psychic trio. Weird and cool.
Imagine growing up in this household?! It’d be so much fun!
2) Sally Jackson
Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan
I love Sally! What a babe. She seems like such a cool, chill mum!
3) Cersei Lannister
ASOIAF/GoT
A complete bitch Cersei maybe, but she loves her children. I admire that about her, at least. (She’s also a super interesting character)
4) Ferius Parfax
Spellslinger by Sebastien De Castell
She’s more of a mentor to Kellen but I’m going to include her anyway. They definitely become like family and she cares for Kellen like a parent. It’s such a lovely relationship!
5) Issa
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor
I love Issa and Karou’s relationship! It’s so adorable. I love how all the Chimaera raised Karou and they have a weird but lovely family!
Issa is a great mother figure to Karou. So adorable!

Cersei is such an interesting name! I love the images as much as the stories you told to go with them. Well done!

Cersei is really interesting. She might not be the best mother, but she definitely loves her children. And out of her three children, Joffrey is the only rotten one while the others are very well behaved, even for a royal. It’s interesting thing to notice, honestly.

I don’t think people give a lot of thought into Cersei but she’s such a complex character!

I love the Raven cycle women too (although I still haven’t finished the series 😅). Also, those images are beautiful 😮!

Great choices, Cersei certainly does love her children.

Sally and Cersei are two of my favourite mothers! Both have literally murdered for their children, which is a weird connection because Sally is the kindest and sweetest and Cersei is … not
