Had as much fun with this second Avatar book as the first, really enjoying how the characters come together and play off each other. A few story beats managed to keep me guessing, and I appreciated many of the payoffs and setups.
4.5/5 I'm excited to see what else season eight of one of my favorite shows has in store!

Damn! Things really heated up with this one.
Book Two used the table setting of Book One and delivered on the promises. There were a couple moments where I was truly scared for DS9 and the crew. I think Perry really nailed the characters and there were a number of scenes where I got emotional for the characters. I still think that these books are living in the shadow of the TV series a little too much however the additions of Ro and Vaughn are very welcome (Vaughn a little more, since the way Ro is written seems to always be "mad/rebellious"). Vaughn fits well with the DS9 world and I am looking forward to seeing him fit in with the crew. I also particularly liked the way Julian, Ezri, Jake and Nog were written. Those are characters I loved in the original series and it was really cool getting to know who they are now.
Up next is Julian's first S31 book! HYPED.

The relaunch of the DS9 series (post television finale) is continued in this, book two of a duet. The introduction of new characters mesh with those of the show, and the characterizations are right on par. The inclusion of Ro Laren into the series was a stroke of genius, and implementing a Jem-Hadar "diplomat" is also one heck of a coup.
Put simply, this is good, intelligent writing in the DS9 world. Nab it.
