More of a 3.5 stars than a 4 but felt overall it deserved marking up rather than down.Another enjoyable instalment in the series on the whole, but a few repetitive moments.
Yas!!!
I really like the Wraith story line but I'm losing interest in Kellar. Not much forward movement regarding Rodney. Ready to wrap this up...
Teyla takes on the role of Queen Steelflower once more, setting herself up as the leader of Wraith opposition to Queen Death and forming a new alliance between Atlantis and Guide. Dr. Keller returns to Guide's hiveship to attempt work on a project that if successful might change life in the Pegasus galaxy as we know it: A retrovirus designed to allow humans to be fed on by the Wraith without causing any permanent damage. And finally, the team undertake one last attempt to retrieve McKay...I love...
The threat of Queen Death escalates not only to every human in Pegasus but also to the factions of Wraith who she is alienating thanks to her scorched earth policy and together they face a stark truth. There is no help or salvation but from themselves and they all know in their hearts that the current dynamic within Pegasus has been shattered forever, for Pegasus to survive will take not only a military alliance but a fundamental shift in attitudes from everyone. This is the situation which has
The post-finale "Legacy" series has been one of the better examples of this tie-in novel strategy. Other shows have used novels (or, more recently, comics) to finish out or otherwise extend the story beyond the televised adventures. The example that most resembles the "Legacy" concept, in my mind, is the "Roswell" set of novels that wrapped up that show's mythology."Legacy" has been most successful in its approach to the characters. Over the course of the four books already released (out of a to...
The Furies- Atlantic is book #4 in the Legacy series of companion book to the TV series Stargate Atlantis. The Legacy series continues where the TV series finished.In this book the team from Atlantis are still trying to rescue Rodney who has been captured by the Wraith and transformed into one of their own whom they have named Quicksilver. He has been commanded to interface a ZPM power device into one of Queen Death's hive ships. Inside his mind Rodney's memories stir and he remembers who he rea...
The Furies was a vast improvement over previous novels in the series.I liked the focus on the Wraith. Specifically, whether or not they are people. And as a people do they deserve to be victim to genocide, even if their existence is a threat? Teyla's story in particular lent great shades of grey to these questions as how much like your enemy can you be without being the enemy?These questions did a wonderful job giving the story some deserved weight.
Loved it!Second best way to wrap up a great series! the most important reason why I did not give it 5 stars was because of how the wraith have a new thing going on all of a sudden!This should NOT have been introduced in the books! but I can live with it!maybe a bit more drama then the series but I feel that it does not hinder the way the story progresses, more a welcome addition!
The struggle to save Rodney and stop Queen Death continues with a fast pace. This segment features a lot of Sam Carter and Teyla, both of whom get to kick some butt. The characters felt right and I am still enjoying the storyline. This series has been perfect to fill the Stargate void. My one complaint is it ends on a major cliffhanger and the next book doesn’t come out for several months!
The Sheyla is strong with this one.
I am still enjoying the amount of characterization in the Legacy series, and the way they have expanded on the relationships as shown in the TV show. This volume ends in an exciting cliffhanger, after some very promising developments. I have to say, though - I loved Atlantis mostly because of Rodney McKay, who has been almost entirely absent from the last 3 books. I'd really appreciate seeing this Quicksilver storyline wrapped up so I can read a story that actually includes Rodney himself.
Same old fanfic
Incredible continuation of this epic story. The story is much faster moving this time which made it much more enjoyable. While the characters jump off the page at me as if I were watching an episode of the show, there was one serious problem. Somehow when this book was edited, they failed to create the breaks between one scene and another. So you are reading a section with Rodney and his problem and suddenly Shepherd says something. Now of course we know that Shepherd isn't there with Rodney, bu...
This one was a little boring in places, like Sams e-mails and her talking about her past, and other characters talking about things completely unrelated to the story. There is pointless scene after pointless scene. That kind of stuff can be good if it adds to the story, but here it seems like it's added in to pad the book length. Aside from that, this was good. It was funny how scared Ronon was of a kitten.Is anyone else thinking that at one point, when Zelenka is talking about Teyla, he implies...
This book was a bit slow plot wise, but I really enjoyed it. I just love this universe so much and even if I had to read about some mundane things I would be happy.I am always surprised by how much more I am able to fall in love with these characters. Also there are a lot of philosophical/life questions here which doesn't feel shoehorned in. Really good. Only I didn't get why it's called The Furies? In my head I renamed this "The Book of Feels".
Bah! This ends like a mid-season cliffhanger! Well played Jo Graham; well played. >)I'm positively loving the insites into Wraith culture and history and the epic battle sequences in this very compelling plot line. I think I would have adored these episodes if the screen writers could have been true to every nuance and emotion. I certainly have every faith that the cast could have done them justice if only given the chance.
Atlantis is Wraithed againI have this book 4 stars instead of 5 not because the story was bad, it was fun and had me on the edge of my seat, building in intensity, but only because the formatting lacked scene breaks. One minute I'm reading about Teyla then suddenly I'm reading a scene with Carter's POV. A little mental adjustment, but otherwise a thoroughly enjoyable sequel and I'm on to the next in the series!
Teyla becomes a wraith to try and rescue Rodney. Sam takes over the running of Atlantis. This book is all about girl power, with Teyla, Jennifer and Sam being the focal characters. There's some really good character moments here, and adds quite a bit to all their back stories. The ongoing plot works, and dont read this unless you've read the whole Legacy series so far. A good read.
This book just didn't blow my hair back. It started strong and then fizzled to boring stories that slowed the pace down. It took me forever to finish this book. It ended strongly with a great cliffhanger but I'm just not up to reading the next volume anytime soon. Frankly you can skip the entire middle part of this book and not miss anything important!
