A review by major_comet
Killing Time by Della Van Hise

adventurous lighthearted medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

I read the 1st edition, and there’s something fascinating about reading a book and immediately being able to understand why the series creator demanded that an edited version be reprinted. This book was great, and really explores an insane amount of emotional intimacy between jim and spock.
