And they all lived happily… wait, what?
That’s how fairy tales end, right? Well, not this one. That isn’t to say it isn’t a satisfying, and even happy ‘ending’ for our protagonists, just that the ending you think you might get when you finish book 1 is probably not even close to where they end up.
The intertwining of the stories of our protagonists, as each chapter jumps back and forth between them, moving the story along feels natural, but also frustrating at times as I wanted to know what was gonna happen with this character next! But that’s the best sort of frustrating, and the sign of a good storyteller, when you’re left wanting more.
And I do want more.
Thankfully while this is the conclusion of this duology, and you could stop here, there are so many more stories that can… and need to be told, both about …

Thankfully while this is the conclusion of this duology, and you could stop here, there are so many more stories that can… and need to be told, both about these characters, and the world at large. I wait with great anticipation for the next volume from the world of the Bear Kings.
Most Star Trek books are at least for me better than ok. I know a lot of that is because I love Star Trek so much, but there was something about this book that just... It just didn't ever grab me.
The focus of the story was the struggle within the Romulan Empire following the death of Shinzon, and the breaking away of some of the empire under Empress Donatra. It's largely told through the perspective of Spock & Sisko.
Spock at least spends his time actively working to reunite the Vulcans and Romulans.
Sisko, returned from the celestial temple feels abandoned by the prophets, and so abandons his wife and daughter to return to Starfleet, and then keeps himself alienated from his crew moping in his ready room. He barely talks to anyone.
The resolution of the Romulan split has next to nothing to do with either Spock or …

It is a rare book #1 that leaves me craving book #2 immediately, but there's something about a fairytale that just draws you in. I'm a sucker for archetypal characters in fantastic situations and settings, including a mythic underworld, and this book delivered it all.
