In the end, I at least got more out of this than I did "Death Game". (I never hear anything; I found out about the author's shipping and Rodney-dislike only by PM after I read that book.) And yeah, I've already got the next one. I knew that "the middle four" are each supposedly assigned to one member of the team or another (book three being Ronon's and book four being Teyla's), and I somehow got confused into thinking "The Lost" was Rodney's given what happens to him at the end of "Homecoming", but it turns out Rodney's is the fifth. Which ... makes "The Lost" John's? Oh, god, kill me now.
That's it, no more buying. If I continue, I'll be using my local library (which I really should have done at the outset, but I don't like waiting or adhering to someone else's schedule). And I'll be passing these books along somehow, whether by resale or by gifting, because they're certainly not keepers. But I have a hard time letting even crap go, because lack-of-resolution bugs me, so I may yet endure. If nothing else, it's got me writing again, if only reviews. I'm such a dork.
Yeah, Jennifer was fine; I'm just cranky about the Yet Another Canon Error syndrome. Gobsmacking. I didn't quite get a R/J/R triangle vibe; they punted a gate tech, but that was Chuck rather than Amelia, and the awkwardness between the three was reasonable given their history. I can certainly see how that might be the prelude, though, which again: Ugh. And Jennifer in this book is still tentative and indecisive, always letting a man make every decision for her (Rodney, Jack, Carson); I've liked her in some fics, but not this way.
