Review # 1 was written on 2012-04-11 00:00:00 Boris Jolin I had a friend in Junior High School who would tell me about a book she had read or a movie she had seen by retelling the entire story, including quoting favorite lines of dialog and describing bits of action. By the time she was done, I felt like I knew everything about the book or movie, except why she liked it. The details were there, but the fun was lost in translation. That's how this book, and the two previous volumes in the series, felt to me. I felt like someone had read a really good book with fascinating ideas, action and characters and stripped away everything that made it interesting and fun and turned it into a tedious summary of what had happened offstage. Most, if not all, of the book felt like an epilogue or prologue for some other, much better, book. I kept wondering where the good book was so I could go read it and quit wasting so much time reading about it instead. The ONLY reason I finished this series was because I have a really long commute, and I had limited options on my iPod. That, and I'm an optimist and I kept hoping the prologue would end and the real book would finally start. It never did.

Review # 2 was written on 2012-09-12 00:00:00 Alejandro Vega This felt like a convoluted mess to me. Which is a shame because the 2 books that started this off, Vulcan's Forge & Vulcan's Heart were easily two of my favorite Star Trek books of all time. The Vulcan's Soul trilogy just never worked for me. I coulnd't get into the host of original characters and never found the Watraii that interesting. It also doesn't really make sense that Chekov and Uhura are still active and around in the post-TNG era. Skip the trilogy and read the duology that started it.
