“I can walk.” [Jess] wasn’t sure, but it was something to aspire to. “I’m all right.” He wasn’t. Definitely wasn’t. “Let go.”
Paper and Fire, Rachel Caine

Thinking about rereading the Morganville Vampire series. I haven't touched it since college (I graduated college in 2016 so it's been a hot minute) and it makes me wonder if I'm gonna like it as much as I did when I was younger. It was such a great series and I loved the characters. If I get back into it, I might even do some fanfic?
With that being said, I was always kind of on the fence with the Shane and Claire ship. So my question for my fellow fans is: Are there any Claire and Myrnin shippers out there? Don't get me wrong, the dude is hella old and bat shit crazy but I ship them so hard.

Can we just talk about the main characters in The Great Library series?
Or the Wolfe pack, if you will. Or Wolfe-gang, if you're a classical music fan.
Firstly, how is this series not more popular? And how on earth did I go so long without hearing of it/reading it? Why aren't more people talking about these books???
Jess - the mainest main character. He's morally grey, but he's loyal 'til the end, both to his ideals and the people who earn his friendship. I love that he's clever and ambitious and always driving events forward. There's nothing that will stop him from pursuing his goals.
Thomas - the genius inventor and complete golden retriever personified. I think Thomas is probably the true moral hero of these stories, if you had to pick just one. I adore his endless gentleness and compassion for his friends, which he extends even to enemies. Likewise, his love for the Library and the ideals it was created to honor and uphold is unbreakable, no matter what he goes through.
Dario - the scheming princeling. I love Dario because he was so hateable in the beginning, being set up as the class bully from the outset. He is pompous and a bit devious, but you still grow to love him (without these character traits budging an inch). His arrogance and selfishness are softened by his love and admiration for someone so wholly deserving...
Khalila - the desert flower and natural-born diplomat. She is everything the Library is meant to be, and her kind and wholesome heart has an undeniable magnetism. Her peaceful and merciful nature is built on a foundation of fierce self-assuredness and unshakeable belief. Truly a goddess among us.
Morgan - the girl set apart. Of all of them, I think Morgan was the one most trying to find herself. She knew what she wanted to do, but she struggled the most with who she wanted to be. Her journey of self-discovery is one everyone can identify with in one stage or another, and that's one of the things that makes her character so important among the rest of the cast.
Glain - the shield between the rest of these knuckleheads and the world. Honestly, how far would these people have gotten without Glain? She is a stalwart soldier through and through and puts duty above all else. And this is her mistake because whoops, instead of staying unattached to the idiots of her postulate class, eventually duty led to (love) deep care and devotion. Her relationships with the rest of the gang give me life.
Wolfe and Santi - the dads. The love, the dedication, the unwavering support... need I say more? Watching their characters unfold was a wonderful surprise because I initially assumed they were going to be obligatory, somewhat distant mentor characters. I'm so glad I was wrong. I loved getting to know them and exploring their past traumas and delving into characters with a complex past juxtaposed with all these youths who are only now emerging into the world.
I think what I especially love about watching these characters over the course of 5 novels is that while they grow, they remain fundamentally who they were when we first met them. We just get to see them have the opportunity to be who they are and how that impacts the world around them. Which is what life is, especially in this transition from adolescence to adulthood. Instead of watching each of them become new selves, we get to know them more and more deeply and are able to see them grow into themselves.
Anyway, I love all of these people and the found family and how they all love one another. (Please read the Great Library.)

Not the best picture, which is definitely not my skill set. But I’m still so in love with these new books I got about a week and a half ago ❤️ I’ve read 3 of them, but I’m looking forward to reading each of them many times to come in the future!
