Yeah, poor Jaffa! But he'll be okay. Nothing like being in the South in summer, but that season's nearly over, too.
I did finish the new trilogy, and actually, I prefer the first trilogy. I spent a lot of "Ghosts" as I had in "Shades", wondering where the heck Flick and Ulaume were! Plus, I just didn't find myself as engaged with the higher-ups manipulating events on earth, and to be honest, I just don't care that much about Lileem; she and Mima and the Kamagrian don't grab me. Probably because I'm such a slash writer! Plus it seems to perpetuate the male/female dynamic. The second generation as such just didn't grab me as emotionally like the first did. There's something more compelling about the first generation; they were written more vibrantly, somehow, at least to my eye. Perhaps I'm biased since I'm so engrossed in my fic which is set in the early years, but I didn't find it as engrossing as the first trilogy. That's not to say I didn't enjoy it, but I've been re-reading the first trilogy all along and still find it a more absorbing work of fiction.
