Valhalla -- far from heaven,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stargate SG-1: Valhalla: SG-14 (Mass Market Paperback)
I've been a great supporter of the SG-1 novels produced by Fandemonium. Some are better than others, and then there's Valhalla. OY! Maybe it's because I'm preoccupied by the likelihood of a surgical procedure in my future; but I have to say, Valhalla is absolutely dreadful! I've read far worse and much, much better fanfiction on line. This SG-1 Novel just plain boring.
Make no mistake. This is a Jonas Quinn story, at least half of it is. I'm sure there are three or four people out there who were Jonas Quinn fans, and they'll probably love this book. One or two of them might even been Jonas shippers, but I imagine they're Jonas/Sam shippers and won't care for the pairing in the Jonas storyline. Don't judge this book by its cover. Daniel's image is not included with SG-1, which might lead you to think that not only is he not in the book, but it might be an S6 story. However, he is in the story. Not that he's gets much to do. Set at the end of Season 7, there are actually two stories going on - Jonas and Kianna in one (Jonas and Kianna shippers - if there are such people -- will love this); and in the other we have SG-1 and a really stupid Viking scenario involving an Asgard named Odin. Eventually, the two stories are woven together, albeit not very neatly. There's also a token Tok'ra thrown in for - well, as a token. How the Tok'ra figured out what Jonas and Kianna were doing on Langara is remains a mystery, but Rihall and Alvarene (who dies before we meet her) actually manage to sabotage the Langaran project. Sadly, Jonas, Kianna, and Langara are not blown up as a result - that would have made for a much more satisfactory ending. The only characters who are even vaguely recognizable are the three Langaran councilors. Jack's a bigger fool than RDA played him in S7, Sam's duller if brainier, Daniel's a dud, and Teal'c - usually, when Teal'c speaks, he sounds like Teal'c, but the author couldn't even get his characterization right. The SG-1 storyline is told from Sam's POV, and not very well. Fandemonium authors should learn that it's actually OK to use the omniscient POV where stories, even individual scenes, are not necessarily told by any one character's stream of consciousness but from a POV that is simply a third-person invisible narrator. Surprisingly, the author, Tim Waggoner, actually got paid for writing this drivel. Nice work if you can get it! Moral of story: Don't waste your money on this one.

Valhalla - yuck,
By Amazing "zing" (Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Stargate SG-1: Valhalla: SG-14 (Mass Market Paperback)
The and I mean THE absolute WORST Stargate book anywhere. Characters are out of character. Story - totally boring. Then there's the spelling errors and the many teeth grating mistakes regarding the main characters. The author should never write for something he CLEARLY knows nothing about. Iv'e read better fanfiction than this. In fact most fanfiction beats this one hands down - even the bad stuff. Sorry, I'm fuming. Absolutely hated this. I want my money back.

StargateSG1 Valhalla,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Stargate SG-1: Valhalla: SG-14 (Mass Market Paperback)
I have enjoyed most Stargate novels but this one was a little different. Jonas Quinn was back. He needed help from Sam and SG1 (including Daniel). There was a twist to this book. The action flips from Jonas' world back and forth to the world of Valhalla. Finally, near the end everyone gets together. The premise of the book is somewhat strange. I felt that some actions and scenes were "forced" and somewhat off target. I still enjoyed reading the book; however, I believe it is not the best of the series. If you like the character of Jonas Quinn you will like how his life on Langara is dealt with. Some loose ends are filled in and I like what was done with Jonas at the end of the book. There is also an interesting twist that includes the Asgard and Ascension.
