The Covenant of the Crown by Howard Weinstein
2.0
This short book took me over two weeks to read... because it is not good.
Out of character, creepy old man McCoy, a teenage girl character who is basically a blank sheet, and multiple halfcocked tangents that never go anywhere or make any difference to the story.
The kingdom we're supposed to be saving is barely sketched and boring. The various characters we meet don't have time to be interesting before they're tossed away—even though several of them could have been more interesting than the rest of the book, given the chance to blossom.
Spock is mostly in character, so that's a plus, and there were several plot points introduced that had real potential, if it had only been explored.
Overall, disappointing and unengaging. I'd give it a miss.
