This week at the Broke and the Bookish the topic for Top Ten Tuesday is :

Top Ten Books Which Feature Characters Who _____:

– can change – either weres, shapeshifters, skin walkers, etc’

1. Mercedes Thompson from Patricia Briggs series.  Mercy is a great character, I’ve loved watching her develop throughout the course of the books.  Mercy is a ‘walker’ who can turn into a Coyote.
2. Suzume from M L Brennan’s Generation V.  Suzume is one of my favourite characters at the moment.  She has a great sense of fun and her cheeky nature stems from the fact that she is actually a fox – that can become human – that’s pretty unique I’d say!
3. Atticus from Kevin Hearne’s Druid Chronicles – Atticus is a druid who can turn into a number of different forms – I’m pretty sure one of which is an owl and also a dog.  Not sure if he has any others at this point.
4. Tamlin – this is a recent read by author Sarah J Maas – A Court of Thorns and Roses – Tamlin is fae and has the ability to turn into a strange beast, a mix of bear, wolf and I don’t know what!
5. Sam from Charlaine Harris’ True Blood series.  Sam can take any form but usually takes that of a dog.
6. Sirius Black from J K Rowling’s Harry Potter – a huge black dog.  I do like the character Sirius
7. Shallan Davar from Sanderson’s Word of Radiance.  Shallan is a low born light eyes.  It turns out she has many strange abilities, one of which is to capture somebody’s likeness in the form of a drawing and then to be able to change herself to take on their appearance.
8. Cassell from the Curse Workers series by Holly Black.  Cassell is a transformation worker – he can transform just about anything into anything – including himself!
9. Lord Maccon of Gail Carriger’s Parasol Protectorate – I had to go there – he is a bit of a studley after all!  A werewolf.
10. Jacinda from Sophie Jordan’s Firelight series – I had to include this one as Jacinda is a draki, a descendant of dragons who can shift into human form

Thought I’d spotlight the Hearne books – I do love the covers for this series:
