War of the Sons by David Reed, Rebecca Dessertine
1.0
Why is the book that was written by two Authors who actually wrote episodes for the show is the one with the most OOC moments? :( Sam had to fend for himself when they were little? Sam lets himself be willingly possessed by a wife of Lucifer (quite apart from the fact that he has a tattoo that prevents possession!)? The boys just trust Don and later Julia and her father without even saying once "Christo" even though they know something is strange?!
Also, that book was clearly written by a Sam lover. Yes, I'm a Dean girl but when watching the show and reading the tie-in novels I'm all for both of them and cheer, mourn, hurt and suffer with both of them. I might favour Dean but I enjoy Sam too! So, I really don't like it when tie-in novels do the job that is reserved for fanfic and favour a character or ship which the show doesn't (a reason why I'm not reading the SGA "Legacy" books and didn't like "Endgame" very much - the John/Teyla UST/ship. That's something for fanfic when it wasn't featured in the show (or at that point of the show the book is set) but not for an (officially) tie-in novel!).
That and some other things (like shifting POVs) made me not enjoy this book.
