"Aeryn & the religion storyline is something I'm fuzzy on...I know some people felt it was right and some didn't. I am more conflicted about another, later turn in Aeryn's story (and John's role in it) but I don't wish to spoil you."
I am a little intrigued by that. I am not a particularly religious person and personally I would never "take that turn" as it were, at the same time I am not aversed to spirituality at all, so far I just don't see it with Aeryn...maybe things will improve on that front as I read on. Fingers and toes crossed.
With regards to Chi, I just have to agree with everything you said, the Jothee romping was tastelessly portrayed while so much more could have been made of that relationship...about Roiin I am not sure what is going to happen but I just don't see any appeal in him whatsoever at least until now...
So far that is my problem too I just dont "feel" the characters the way I did invariably in the series - they are not my beloved characters...as Richard said detachment would be the solution but when it comes to FS and all of its flawed but feisty and deeply "human" characters I just seem to fail miserably at it.
I will finish reading the comics but I am afraid it may be because I am a bit of a masochist as well as a hopeless FS fan!
As far as your unpopular and uncommon opinions comment, I don't know about that but I do love people who know their minds and are not afraid to speak them when backed up by a good degree of knowledge and love for the subject they broach and you are definitely one of those people, that's why I love following your posts!
