However, may I ask, what's a YA novel?

Well, that's not an answer you can truly get. I enjoyed the SG-1 part from the beginning. I liked the emphasis on Cassie since we didn't see much of her. Conversely, I'm not as big of a fan of SGA, so I didn't enjoy that part quite so much.

YA = Young Adult. When ever the focus is on Cassie the way it is written changes to her through process, ie "creep one, creep two" even the language changes a bit in how it's written, which makes those parts sound like a young adult. Since Cassie's been introduced into the book, she's been kind of, poutting/emotional brat like we saw in the last episode she was in, which highly reflects many characters in young adult books - which I dislike.Originally posted by SamJackShipper93 View PostWell, that's not an answer you can truly get.

I've read the book twice now, and fully intend to read it again. For me it was entertaining, and a decent story line, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.Originally posted by bookwormjules View Post
As for Cassie acting bratty? She'd just had some enormous changes take place in her life and then discovered she has these secret abilities that she's afraid to tell anyone about. I'd be pretty testy, too, if I were in her shoes. Plus, she knows that if she reveals any of these abilities, it's all too likely the NID will snatch her and make her into a test subject/prisoner for the rest of her life.
And regarding her "bratty" behavior in "Rite of Passage", that was due to the changes she was experiencing because of Nirrit's experiments on her on Hanka that were starting to change her into something else. I would also be pretty bratty about that if I were in her position. She's only 15 at that time and doesn't understand what's happening to her.
In some ways, I think "Transitions" was meant to be somewhat lighthearted, even though it was a serious storyline about serious subjects. SG1 frequently behaved in a somewhat lighthearted manner in the most dangerous of situations, so this really wasn't all that different for me.Comment

Cassie, to me is reflecting the typical moody teenager. Not because she's going through a hard time. I have just overs hundred pages left, and still not impressed the the SG1 side of the story, and itis frustrating the Atlantis story is sacrificed for this one (and vise verses). There are two plots that need there own book.
not bothered by the lightened mood, bothered by how story is written and because it's concentration on Cassie - never liked her character. Can't like them all, I think. I built up my expectations to high after reading the rave reviews about it. For me the book just doesn't carry the same feel as the other books I've read.Oh for a book and a shady nook ~ Jules' Book Reviews - my book review site.Comment

I really enjoyed the book but I agree that both stories deserved their own book. To me the Atlantis piece just felt tacked on for the heck of it. And brought along continuity problems which drive me nuts!Comment

Hey there I have a question: Are there any novels with Mitchell instead of O'neill?Comment
-
Thus far, there have been none like that. However, "Roswell" (which takes place late in Season 10) features both of them pretty significantly. Vala is also in it (significantly). I haven't come across any others that even mention Mitchell (other than maybe a passing comment).Originally posted by SGATwin View PostLast edited by hedwig; 29 January 2012, 10:38 AM.Comment

That might be good, I wish they had more Mitchell novels, Roswell was one of my favorites, and Continium was a good movie should be interesting to see the two teams together.Originally posted by Artie View PostOh for a book and a shady nook ~ Jules' Book Reviews - my book review site.Comment

Finally finished Transpiration. Not impressed at all. I couldn't get passed the continuity issues of the book. Had the book been fan-fiction, I may have been able to accept it, but it's a companion book to the series, so having the huge continuity issues this book had not good in my books. Oh well can't like them all I suppose.Oh for a book and a shady nook ~ Jules' Book Reviews - my book review site.Comment
