"But what people lie about the most are themselves, and these lies become the stories they believe and want to tell you."
We know that I’m a huge DS9 fan but this book was SO good. If you’re also into DS9, then you’ve probably heard of A Stitch In Time, and it’s just as good as everyone says (if not better). I love this look into Garak’s life pre and post series. I especially found it fun to wonder about the truth of certain scenes — Garak is a character who lies, constantly, and I do believe this book is as honest as he’s capable of being, but that still means he’s probably lying about at least half of what happens.
Listening to the audiobook of this was also an added experience, as Andrew Robinson reads it himself. I would definitely recommend that if you can find it at your library or on audible!
