Favourite Male Characters in Literature from the Last 10 Years of Reading

As I posted my favourite female fictional character list a few weeks ago I could hardly not post my favourite male character list too! As with the previous post this list is in no particular order (except maybe slightly chronologically) and is certainly not rank ordered. Some character names will also be dropped in despite not always being read in the preceding 10 year period. So, let’s get listing…

Well, that’s more than I thought I’d have at this point. I’ll add the obvious ones here too – despite not reviewing anything with them in during the period in question: Sherlock Holmes and Duncan Idaho (from the Dune series). I’ve probably missed a few but what is life without room for improvement?
