This is a Book Post: Last Succubus Novel and VA Spinoff Series News + Mockingjay Thoughts

[sherrilina]

This past week had several important and noteworthy book-related events for me, namely 1) finishing Mockingjay at last, and then 2) finally seeing some exciting news about the plots and release dates of the final book in the Georgina Kincaid series (one of my all-time faves) AND about the forthcoming VA spinoff series (which I've been dying to know

'Kay so I wandered over from the Ani LJ comm too. After reading this I really liked the comparisons you made with Jake and Katniss. Honestly they never really crossed my mind. Seriously, I was so tense reading those books that my brain couldn't even comprehend any similarities to Animorphs (besides the whole war/kids/effects, etc). It was that bad lol.

I'm also a little sorry that Gale turned out the way he did, since I did love his friendship/close bond with Katniss (and liked him well enough earlier--I was never a hater, as I now realize many in the fandom are)After lurking around several HG fansites and stuff, I'm a little perplexed at why people seem to hate Gale so much, especially in MJ. I mean I know he's selfish sometimes, but there were moments in that book that made me like him even more than in previous books. Like when he is the first to volunteer to save Peeta, when he tells Katniss not to be so hard on herself and that Peeta wasn't himself or whatever, and how he grabbed stuff before the bombing in District 13 and ran

Lol, thanks, glad you enjoyed the meta/comparisons! :). Jake is my bb and I've spent a fair amount of time thinking about his depression/PTSD storyarc in the end, so when I read about Katniss' depression that made me think of Jake...;). She certainly isn't like Rachel besides being a tough female who can fight, that's for sure

Yeah as I said in my comment in the Ani comm, I think attitude and personality wise Gale reminds me the most of Rachel. But yeah, I'm totally going to think more about the Jake/Katniss comparisons some more since it just fits and is all in my head now

YES that is a good point, I think I was wondering that a bit as well, so it was good they cleared that up once and for all in MJ! And heh, I think Gale and Johanna would have been a good match for one another, I don't think Johanna had the same issues with fire as Katniss did/she didn't seem to mind...;)

Well they never said who ended up with who so we could make our own conclusions about the two of them! ;) Also, sorry idk why that one comment got posted twice, w/e I deleted the one. :/
