This was all right. It had some action, which was nice. It was a little confusing at two different points, but it soon straightened out.
The most frustrating part was how slow it went. It dragged severely. Probably a hundred pages could've been cut, and then it would've got a third star from me.

I really enjoyed this series but I think this author is maybe the worst of all time a writing female characters. Every single one of them is beautiful, brilliant, intuitive, supportive, emotionally mature, and fun in bed. It got very frustrating over the course of three book where they talk a lot about these women characters. Otherwise I liked all three stories, I liked how they fit together and that they covered the entire lifespans of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy.

Enjoyable book, however I found myself liking the other two books in the series much more (McCoys being my favorite). I felt a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to know Kirk through this book like we got to know Spock and McCoy on a deeper level. Kirk remained two dimensional.

The closing to the Crucible trilogy, this third book, focusing on James T. Kirk, didn't tie into the two others very closely. In fact, except for a flashback to the episode "City on the Edge of Forever", I don't think Kirk interacted with Bones or McCoy at all. Mostly it was a time-travelling adventure centered around his time in the nexus, from which he emerged only to die in Star Trek Generations. The new background regarding the development of his relationship with Antonia, an Idahoan hippiater, was interesting and gave some new depth to the character. But otherwise, I felt the book was too much about temporal anomalies and too little about the man.
