I really, really enjoy alternate universe Star Trek stories. This variation set off the new timeline was no exception. Also really enjoyed the other story. It was solid and the new characters it introduced were very interesting.

How are they always astonished to find themselves in a parallel universe? It happened in almost every issue, they should not be so extremely surprised anymore. Also, what is it with those writers that they’ll see the Mirrorverse only as „I want to hurt everyone coming my way, even if it’s myself“? They only want everyone to be evil without reason. That’s just nonsense and a world like this wouldn’t work out long term.

The second story was fine, but too rushed. No deeper look into Orion culture, freedom of choice there, or how it can be that the Enterprise was so completely crippled by a species - and why the Federation still exists if it’s technology is so inferior.

Picked this up during a sale. I loved Mirror, Mirror in the original series, so the Kelvin take on it was quite intersting. The second story is about Gaila, the Orion woman from the 2009 movie. It was great that they fleshed out her character, and there is even a reference to slut shaming and Gaila shutting it down in the book. Love that.
