Isn't that one of the great things about reading and entertainment as a whole? We all read the same thing but take such a widely varying view of what we think about it.
It's cool we can bounce around our thoughts. There have been a lot of times I have not looked at something the way someone else has, and when they mention it, it makes me rethink how I thought about the thing.

Maybe things will change.

I was actually just thinking that I'd hate to stumble across a spoiler here. I actually came across a spoiler in Wikipedia... everyone can take that as a warning!
As for Gia in general and no offence to our intrepid author, it seems such an American literary thing that there MUST be a love interest and that love interest MUST be a source of weakness for the hero

And I think Gia is a source of strength for Jack, as she keeps him from getting careless. Fuck up and leave Gia and Vicky alone with Nightworld coming? No, indeed!
