I read this book with kind of a long pause in the middle so it is hard to really get my thoughts together on this one. I feel like I appreciated Hoshi's trauma from her abduction getting to be explored a little more than it did in the show. It makes sense that this would have a lasting impact on her and her confidence in her abilities. I am also just a sucker for translation stories and things that tend to be academic puzzles at heart. I really appreciated how this author read up a little on linguistics for the novel. I am sure an expert would have seen flaws, but as a casual enjoyer of linguistics I thought it was fun.
I think that Tucker got to shine as a comedic relief in a way that I think is hard to pull off in a book. While he was in many ways the comedic relief I think that it was cool to see him as captain. He is always one of my favorite characters and I think he was super well written in this book.
I think the most impactful moment of this book to me that was really skimmed by was when Theera was reabsorbed???? We had a full "but I want to stay" moment before she was absorbed into basically the Borg. Well not the Borg but they were very Borg like. She reached a state of consciousness that meant she wanted to live her life away from the collective. We didn't really get a moment to mourn for her, or any follow up about her husband she left behind.
