A peek into Elim Garak's childhood and thoughts. CONFIRMED right off the bat that he loved Bashir, and was in a relationship of sorts with him. Confirmed bisexual as well. Enjoyable story if you like the characters, but you should really already know the world of DS9 before reading this. Listening to the actor Andrew J. Robinson read Garak's tale in his voice from the show is lovely on the audiobook. some clunky pacing.

AN ABSOLUTE MUST FOR ANY AND ALL DS9 FANS!!!!!!!! I never got around to reading the 'text' version of the book I think because I was being too precious with it, and was like, oh if I read it then I won't have something like this in the future waiting for me! Which is dumb. ANYWAY. This was truly a special experience to read via audiobook by THE LIZARD HIMSELF: ROBINSON AS GARAK!!!!!! I do wish there was a bit more fleshing out of references to bits that aired on tv with regards to Garak's history, but what to do. I really enjoyed it all the same. Stellar work of fanfic if I say so myself.

PS: As far as I'm concerned, Garak very much presents himself as a bisexual creature, or at least one where our 'earthly' heteronormative concepts of sexuality do not apply to. That's just my opinioooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooon.
