Book Reviews of Stargate SG-1: Sacrifice Moon
Book Review: Sacrifice Moon - nothing sacrificed
Summary: 5 Stars
Julie Fortune has obviously watched Stargate SG-1 before attempting to write her novel - her writing shows her knowledge of the characters. Reading this book was like watching the tv show in my head - perfect. The pace was good, no smarm or ship, each character written 'in character' - and each with their fair share of front and centre. The storyline itself takes place not long after the team has formed, and they are just beginning to bond with each other. Perfectly balanced, excellently written. I can't wait for Ms Fortune's next story.Book Review: Not bad, but could be better
Summary: 2 Stars
I've read the other two Stargate books from Fandemonium and this one is good, really good, but its not the best. The plot was only mediocre and the over-dominance of Daniel Jackson made the book less that it could have been. Its saving grace for me was the character writing of Jack O'Neill. That was perfect. the book is worth the read, but not up to the standard of the other releases, Trial by Fire and Matter of Honour. Pleasem Ms. Fortune, if you write another, can we have less Daniel Jackson?Book Review: LOVED this book
Summary: 5 Stars
It's hard to write a book with four characters and keep the action evenly spaced on each one, but this book succeeds wonderfully. Each character has something to contribute and nobody gets tucked into the background.Daniel and Jack are the men we see on the screen, their friendship is pretty solid already in this book, and Sam and teal'c fit right in.
The story is interesting and believable and runs smoothly from beginning to end. This is a good solid book and one which I will re-read with pleasure.
I hope there's another one by this author in the future.
Book Review: A Rousing Good Adventure
Summary: 5 Stars
Now this book is more like it! Finally! A book focused on all of the members of SG-1 in equal parts (although if push came to shove, I'd have to say that Jack's point of view takes precedence ... but not in a bad way). Best of all, *none* of the members of the team are treated badly by this author. They are written with obvious love and care. Even Teal'c, so often shoved to one side by writers (even on the show itself), is given equal weight and importance in this story, I felt. The writing itself is professional in quality. It flows smoothly and is easy to follow and read. The dialogue is snappy and brilliant. The emotional parts feel real and draw you in. The book makes you want to finish reading it rather than feeling like it is a chore to finish. Best of all, the story is a rousing good action/adventure with a dose of mythology and even horror thrown in. And, oh yeah. SG-1 goes through the Stargate together and they actually have an adventure reminiscent of those good old days when they did the same sort of thing on the series itself.
Book Review: not bad
Summary: 3 Stars
All in all, this wasn't a horrible book. I did think that the author missed some very obvious opportunities to crank up the angst in the book. Daniel and Sam are in a very trying time...but we get to see little to nothing from their point of view.I found the plot as a whole not massively complicated and i knew the ending by the middle of the book.
HOwever, that being said, this is TONS better than the first series of Gate books published by someone else. At least these aurhors actually know the fandom and show and aren't just playing catch-up and cranking out template books
