A review by taaya
The Enterprise War by John Jackson Miller

challenging dark slow-paced

3.0

Nicht ganz mein Thema. Viel Krieg und viel Taktik, könnte gern ein wenig gekürzt werden. Aber die Charakterisierung ist gut und angenehm zu lesen und die Vorgeschichte zu Staffel 2 von Discovery schließt gut an die Serie an.

English: Not exactly my type of topic. Mostly war and tactics, that could've been shortened a bit. But the characterisation was nice to read and the prequel to Disco S2 adds up nicely. 


But now a reread review:

After almost 1 1/2 seasons of SNW this is a worse read than before. Because now that we know how much of a space dad Pike is and how much fun the Enterprise family we later get is, this book is a bland mixture of boredom, darkness and coldness compared to the warm, cozy and empathetic atmosphere of the new crew in SNW. 

I'm at 50 percent and struggling to get through this time, because 90% of it is just war and there is no fun in it at all. (Which is to be expected of war. But not to be expected of Pike - who's also extremely self-obsessed and whiny here, in comparison to how well he deals with even more trauma in Disco and SNW.)
