Much like Twilight, this series moves at a glacial pace. I would be unsurprised if I found myself watching the characters stop by the supply room. Many plot lines were wonderful, particular the character based stuff with Kira, Vaughn, Ro, Quark and Cassidy. Shar had a lot of screen time here, packed with his mates and his mother and their drama and it was a lot, as was the palace intrigue in the Gamma Quadrant. I admittedly loved the small character beats the most, and while this book was overall strongly written, I would have preferred a lot fewer pages and a more concise plot.

good continuation of the series! I was more interested in the plots in this one than the last one. I loved the dilemma with the amphibious species, and I appreciate that while the solution was technological, there was some acknowledgement that it's not a cure-all; social reorganization will be challenging. Not sure what to think about Ezri on command track, but I liked how she drew from Dax's experiences and also found a way to use her own training as a counselor. Also putting Kira at the center of Bajoran-Cardassian negotiations always makes for a good story.

Ok so this to me was the first stumble in the “season 8” relaunch of DS9. The stuff going on the station is interesting and really kept my interest but the stuff in the Gamma Quadrant is a snore. Feels like so much is going on without much detail and I just didn’t care.

I like this book a little better than the first. The thread about Shar and the rest of the Andorians and the plight on Vanimel were interesting. In particular, the last 100 pages or so was absorbing. There is a lot going on throughout the book, but I wasn't as interested in the rest of the plot lines. Also, I felt Ezri did not quite ring true.

Perhaps not quite as engaging for me as the first entry, but Mission Gamma is still an entertaining run!
4/5 But where be Jake?!

Combines the spirit of the original Trek with the wonderful cast of characters in DS9.
