A review by octavia_cade
Day of Honor by Michael Jan Friedman

adventurous fast-paced

3.0

I remember watching the episode this novelisation was based on! It was years and years ago, and while it wasn't outstanding it was likeable enough. As the episode, so the book. It's a quick, easy read, with some nice characterisation of B'Elanna. I quite enjoy the fact that her life has a history of turning to shit on the Day of Honour; it's the kind of black-humoured disaster roll that's the Klingon version of Murphy's law, I guess - mostly entertaining because it's not you suffering it. Though I have to say, any ritual that involves pain sticks is not one I'd be bothering with either, so I absolutely do not blame B'Elanna for giving that one a miss. 

I admit, I do think the conclusion is wrapped up too quickly and conveniently, but that was the case in the episode as well, so what can you do, really. Still, the book's passed a couple of hours on a rainy night quite nicely.
