Book 55 of 2025: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
A traumatic event from Pike’s past, a dangerous mission on the edge of a black hole, and relationship drama…just another day on Pike’s Enterprise. Not a bad adventure, though there were some aspects that didn’t work for me.
Slight spoilers after the photo…

-
One character is described as “Vulcanoid” of mixed heritage, and presents as very emotional. At a time when Spock’s half-human heritage is quite rare, it’s very odd for a mixed-heritage Vulcan with human-like emotions to be a character without this being remarked upon at all.

Two characters get into a “prank war” that is obviously supposed to add humor to the story, but just came across to me as being mean-spirited and potentially medically dangerous. I was not amused, and felt that this was an unnecessary addition.
