reread 2020: Trying to do more interesting things plot-wise and character-wise than the previous two novels and it pays off by being much more interesting. But it's still clearly working from a show bible that didn't fully make it into the canon of the show (e.g. the doctor having a name, Paris's motivations for being a disaster feel off.) There's some much better character dynamics happening, though I do feel like it leans far too much into all their flaws just to get everyone antagonistic.
And the "twist" at the very end is strange for a tie-in that's not actually canon, since it's something with future implications (that would be really interesting if it could have actually been explored) and the nature of these novels is that they have to maintain a status quo.
