7/22/15 - Side Characters That Deserve Their Own Books
5. The Commandant
An Ember In The Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
The Commandant doesn't necessarily deserve her own book as much as I want one. Yet, I feel like a book having the Commandant as the lead character would be so interesting. We could follow her through her childhood and young-adult life, and see everything that made her the way she is currently. While it might not be an easy read, based on the things we know about her already, I still feel like it would give us the much needed insight that we didn't get in An Ember In The Ashes.
4. Count Olaf
A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket
Again, another villain. With Count Olaf, I loved how we did get to learn some of his motives behind his actions. But again, we still don't know much about how he first got to know the children's family and how they are linked at all. (Or maybe we did and I'm just forgetting.) Anyways, I would really enjoy a book from Olaf's POV, despite how twisted it might be. I'd really just love to be able to get inside of his head.
3. Jalal
The Wrath & The Dawn by Renee Andieh
My reasons for this one are pretty simple. The first being that Jalal is a hilarious and beautiful character and I generally just want more of his interactions with all the other characters in the series. The second is that Jalal knew Khalid when he was younger. I want to know everything about Khalid as a child and teenager. I want every detail. Even though we got tons of explanation about his actions, I just want to see him as a person and how him and Jalal grew up together. I think it would be cute. But then tragic. But overall, cute!
2. Liraz
Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy by Laini Taylor
Liraz is freaking awesome. And it would be even more awesome if we got an entire book/series devoted to her. Liraz's character has had one of the biggest character growths I've ever read and to get a continuation to her story, or even a prequel would be amazing. She was left in a good place at the end of the series, but there were still so many questions I had that needed answers. Most of them were regarding either Akiva or Liraz. I just need more of this badass angel in my life.
1. The Marauders
The Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling
I have a feeling these guys are on almost everyone's list. And for good reason too. Ever since the Marauders were first mentioned, I wanted to know everything about them. Not only was my favorite character, Sirius Black, in them, but all the wonderful old wizards we heard so much about throughout the series. A series following them in their schooling and adventures would be amazing, almost as amazing as Harry Potter's, I dare say. While we know the fates of all the Marauders, I still want a 7 book series about them. Or at least a TV show. (HBO, looking at you!)
