jo_graham has put up another set of character thoughts up for the SGA Legacy book series - this time about John.
I recommend reading it, even if you don't plan to read the books. It's just such a complex character profile of John, an indication of how much care Jo, Melissa, and Amy have taken with these characters and how their story arcs work, the things they face, the parts that make up the whole.
The previous character studies are Radek, Teyla, Todd, and Sam (who seems to have very few supporters in SGA fandom, which is a real pity, because she has some really good storylines in Legacy - as a big Sam-fan, I'm really happy with where the storyline takes her and with the stuff that Jo discusses in the post: her vocation and her choices).
( One thing that really hit me while I was reading the drafts of these novels was just how feminist the stories are. )
Incidentally: Death Game by Jo Graham is out sometime in the next couple of weeks. I can't remember if I've got it pre-ordered on Amazon. The ridiculous thing with me and Amazon is that I usually end up paying $50 in books and $95 in postage. Which is just sad and painful on top of 'expensive' and 'almost more trouble than it's worth'. Unfortunately, it's really the only way I'm going to get a whole lot of these books since they're only sold at Galaxy bookshop in the city...
*grumps at ridiculous postage prices from the US*
