I think the community average for this book is pretty spot on. Officially my ranking falls somewhere between 3.9-4.0.
I really like almost everything this book seemingly changed or was cut out of the movie as it went along. Everything with Peter is heartbreaking if you've seen the movie. Saaviks storyline as half Romulan is so good I'm so sad it was cut from the movie. Chekov, Sulu, and David Marcus having more character moments in this is great.
So much better than the first movies novel a great author will elevate an already great story. I love little character moments and because it's in book format we're allowed to have more of those. Although, the torture scene is pretty brutal.

Love it! I have not seen the movie (but I have seen the series) so I cannot compare, but I honestly couldn't tell it was based on a screenplay. It read like a regular novel and it was a lot of fun to read. I really liked Saavik, and I like how much we got to learn about her. I also thought the author was able to deliver on all the emotional beats around the midpoint to end.
