I really loved this book, probably far out of proportion to its goodness. It's very heavy in dialogue and very plot-driven, but those are stylistic choices that I like. I loved the meta commentary and the Trek references. The comedic-timing is amazing and the emotional moments in the third act really hit for me. Kerensky was hilarious. I know he's supposed to represent Chekov but I imagined him as Paris the entire time lol. Definitely my favorite Trek book I've read.
