Riker’s characterisation seemed a bit off at times, but can be excused by him being younger/older than we see in the show.
Some tropes were a bit cliché, but I was positively surprised by the direction the plot took. Definitely felt like a Star Trek episode.

Just beautiful. I love the way Peter David skipped through time giving us important information we needed. It was the perfect amount of romance and stayed true to the Trek feel. The ending was what I wanted which was also a huge plus for me.

Even as a Trekkie, I am not a huge fan of this book. The men, especially young Riker, are written to be sexist & chauvinistic, and not at all in line with the ideals of Starfleet. A lot of the "romantic" scenes made me cringe because of the emphasis on rhetoric like "you will love me and I will continue to pursue you" that call up issues of consent and harassment. And the plot gets overly complicated at the end, to the point where it feels like a burden to continue.
I love Star Trek and I like the Riker/Troi relationship in general, but this book isn't it and I'm mad that it got to be titled "Imzadi" just because it was the first Riker/Troi book. :/
