Yesterday was April Fool’s, a day known to be full of mischief and pranks. So the prompt for this week is: What are some of your favorite mischievous characters?

I couldn’t pass up an opportunity to mention my boy Nikolai Lantsov, from the Girshaverse books by Leigh Bardugo. My copy of Rule of Wolves just arrived, but I haven’t started it yet. I want to be able to devote a full day or two to read it, so that I can just binge read the whole thing, you know?

As much as I dislike him, Bero from the Green Bone Saga series by Fonda Lee very much fits the bill here. He’s so mischievous, and is always making trouble, but not exactly the good or fun kind.

Finally, Captain Carswell Thorne in the Cinder series by Marissa Meyer is the ultimate mischief maker. He’s always getting himself into some trouble, and then generally getting out of it using his charm. He’s not a villain, and he is the kind of guy that I couldn’t help but love.

Who are some of your favorite mischievous characters?
