Recently I’ve been doing posts about characters. I’ve talked about characters I love, characters I hate and now I want to talk about side characters that I think need their own stories.
Isla and the Happily Ever After – Genevieve Martin: I really loved her character! More than the main character Isla even. Gen seems down to earth and interesting, plus she’s bisexual which I think is awesome. I always want to see more diversity in books.
The Raven Boys – Ronan: Oh angry Ronan. The most interesting of any of the characters I wish that Gansey would fall down dead and Ronan would become the main guy character of this series. His cool dream magic is amazing.
Daughter of Smoke and Bone – Zuzanna: Zuzanna is hilarious and loyal, she sticks by her best friend and add the comic relief that the book needs. I thoroughly enjoyed her character in the first book.
The 5th Wave – Teacup: Of all the characters in this series Teacup is the ONLY one that I felt for. Even more in the second book when so much happens to her. Can we just rewrite the entire series and make her the main character please?
Pure Trilogy – El Capitan: He becomes the only character I cheer for at the end. And I love that in the beginning he’s a very shady character, I didn’t trust or like him at all. But by the end of the third book he fully redeems himself.
So those are just a few side characters I love. What about you? Tell me about some of the side characters you loved more than the main character.
Great post! I actually made a similar one ranting about my love for side characters and sidekicks in fiction: https://teaandpaperbacks.wordpress.com/2016/03/14/sidekicks-in-fiction-and-why-i-love-them/.
Although I do think that Ronan is actually quite a main character as you go deeper into the series. After all, Dream Thieves focus a lot on him.
oh cool I’ll check out your post! 😀 Yeah I guess you’re right…I just don’t like POV changes and was spending a lot of time being mad at the other characters that I felt like I couldn’t focus on him as much as I wanted to.
