Ragnarok by Nathan Archer
3.0
Much better than the last Voyager book I had, but the author doesn't have the best grasp on the show. Characterisation was better than the last one, but this one still seems to be a bit patchy.
I was a bit disappointed in that the whole thing seemed to be nothing but an action story.
Update for 2020 reread: not a fan this time around either. Characterisation is all over the place. B'elanna is way more angry than she was in the early seasons of the show and for no reason. Paris is awful and insubordinate. Kim was even more naive and inexperienced. Everyone else was okay-ish but nothing standout. Definitely reads like someone who was expanding on a basic synopsis of the show and characters than someone who was that familiar with them. And yeah, it's very plot point heavy and not very character driven and that's not the sort of thing I like to read, especially for tie in novels.
