A Bit of Me(me) – Captain Carter

Danielle at There’s a Book has started up this fun Saturday Me(me) and .. surprise surprise I’m actually getting this post up today.

So the question this week is:

Who is your favorite female character,

in a book or on a TV show/movie? Why?

You can’t get much more kick-butt than Samantha Carter.  I admit it – I’m a pretty big sci-fi geek when it comes to movies and TV shows.  I fell in love with Stargate SG-1 about 7 years ago and have been addicted ever since.  Now.. with the upcoming DragonCon here in Atlanta I get to revel in my geeky-ness and see many of the stars in person – unfortunately Amanda Tapping will not be one of them.

…but I can still envy her right? I mean.. she did get to kiss “McGyver“!  Seriously though – her character on the Stargates is one of strength, refusal to bow down to what she knows is wrong and perseverance in protecting others – even those not of her own species!  By far one of my favorite characters in shows (I only wish Sanctuary did her justice).

Total Eclipse by Rachel Caine

Total Eclipse (Weather Warden, #9)Total Eclipse by Rachel Caine

Buy from The Book Depository

Short Summary:

Weather Warden Joanne Baldwin has defeated her longtime enemy and saved the world—again. But at what cost? Standing at the ground zero for the last attack, Joanne, the Djinn David, and the Earth herself have been poisoned by a substance that is destroying the magic that keeps the world alive.

My Review:

Technically there was nothing really wrong with TOTAL ECLIPSE, the latest installment of Joanne/David/Lewis. True to form Rachel Caine gives us high-speed chases, upheaving earth and crazy, take-your-breath-away situations.

I actually felt like I was reading the first several books over again because, at this point, there’s really not much more that can happen to Joanne that hasn’t already happened to her.

The ending of the book redeemed the book for me, however- and I don’t want to spoil it but I would like to say… as much as I love Joanne, please.. let this be her peaceful rest.
