I've finally had the time to catch up with this wonderful story!!! I must say, it's a relief for the boys to be back in Atlantis, but it seems so strange for them to be there! I'd become so used to that horrible, desolate desert world, and I'm surprised to admit that I really liked it! I loved the grittiness and that it stripped everything back to basics; survival and how to achieve that. It just made for very exciting and satisfying reading. Though, heaven knows, I'd hate to be stranded there. I'd last about five minutes! Lol!
I like your take on Keller here; being gentle, unobtrusive and not pushing the boys. She's treading carefully and giving them space, while being honest with John about his problems. I really appreciated that approach.
I do think John would want space and would be withdrawn. I also know that Ronon would understand that.
I didn't like Woolsey when he wouldn't tell John what was happening though. That would've frustrated the heck out of our boy! I didn't like that John was excluded, but I can see Woolsey doing that if he thought it was necessary.
The Saurin? I just don't like them, but that's good. I'm not meant to. They're quite a fascinating race, but in a horrifying way!
