Twilight? You mean the vampire book? lol, I have no idea when, but all of a sudden it seemed like that book came from somewhere between left field and mars and suddenly everyone loved it. I haven't read it... and doubt I ever will.
But Reliquary, to me, is really enjoyable. It's a little odd, and some of the concepts with the ATA gene seem a little more farfetched than even fanfics have come up with. I actually kind of wondered why TPTB cleared it to be published for that very reason. The book starts a little slow, but midway through it takes a turn for the wtf. Pretty soon it boils down to Sheppard and McKay stuck alone together with healthy doses of ATA goodness, h/c, whump, snark....kind of a nicely bound, easy to carry fanfiction when you get down to it :D
For only 8 bucks it's well worth it. I've read it twice, and it definitely is better the second time through when you can see the subtle hints at the overall story early on. But the story definitely shines brightest in the second half.
