SGA Legacy Book Series

[WraithTech]

I found it at Barnes & Noble and read it over the weekend.

Spoiler:

I never even considered that the Wraith would reverse-Michael Rodney. That was a cool plot twist.

Overall, it didn't feel like much happened though. Another potential diplomatic crisis with the Genii and a whole subplot about Atlantis adapting to ice.

The Lost spoilers:

Spoiler:

I laughed out loud when Ardent used the term "misbegotten" to describe Quicksilver in the game room.

Avoiding the lizard creatures in desert trek to the Avenger and Todd hiding Ronon and Jennifer away from Queen Death's followers was also exciting for me: new places, new situations, new ship and newly learned mysteries about the Ancients who left it there...

I wasn't saying it was bad. I did like the character/species development, but there wasn't as much advancement in the overall story as I expected.

I also liked the Wraith interpretation of what happened with the Atlantis Expedition (though I'm not sure how they know about Carter's "consort" back on Earth )

Spoiler:

I'm guessing Todd was the first source of this story. He stole information from Atlantis, possibly including things about Jack, and would have the sense of humor to call Woolsey 'Hairy.'

Yeah, I can agree with you there. It did feel like a lot of build-up but they still kept the plot moving. Was very impressed with it over all though.

In case anybody's interested, there's an Ask the Authors of the next Legacy book, Melissa Scott and Amy Griswold, going on here: http://jo-graham.livejournal.com/122258.html

Well somebody had to make one.


So discuss,discuss.

And mind yer spoilers.

Some of us are STILL READING!

[The Flyattractor]

Ok. Read it.

Enjoyed it.

Not quite as much fun as the first read.
Could have used some more humor (IMO)

Only thing I really didn't like was the possible direction the origin of the Wraith might be taking.

But other then that.

A good read.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. Have only just found your thread because we Wraith fans have been discussing the Legacy books so far in the Wraith Defenders Club.

Oh just typical. I throw a party and everyone goes to the cool kids house instead.




JUST TYPICAL!

[WraithRichard]

I'm interested in it, but I'm also wary given some bad and strange revews I've seen on Amazon.

[Elite Anubis Guard]

I had commented on it in the other Legacy thread.

I loved it. Very good novel with a lot of character beats in it. A lot of setup still, but they're building towards something. I figured out the deal with Quicksilver straight away but that didn't make it any less interesting.

I just can't wait to read the next one.

WDC members tend to live in that topic so we've been discussing the Wraithy bits there.

Books are like movies and TV shows - not everyone's going to like them.

[CheekyBeckett]

Didn't care for Homecoming much. Gave it another shot and just read The Lost.
Definite improvement. The Wraith parts were good even though the Quicksilver business is a bit obvious. I have no quarrel w/the action in the book but I still cringe at some of the dialogue.

So, do you guys recommend I give it a try?

This is the only way to find out if you'll like it. It's the second book in the Legacy series so you'll need to read Homecoming first if you haven't already done so.
