A review by chimichannika
Fallen Heroes by Dafydd ab Hugh

0.0

Way too violent, graphic, and gory for me— Trek is a comforting media for me and I wasn’t hoping to see all of my beloved favorite characters die horrific, awful deaths 😰 this book genuinely distressed me, tangibly, and I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone who isn’t a hardcore horror/gore fan. Be forewarned on the violence, it’s… a lot. Please take care of yourself and your wellbeing in your consideration of whether you want to read this book. 

Edited this review a couple days later to add: I chose to continue reading this book to the end to see how the whole crisis would be reverted
a la “year of hell” timeline undo
because after a certain point, I felt this would give me a better emotional way to move on from the book rather than cutting it off by stopping the book without knowing how it would end— I’m aware I could’ve chosen to DNF the book, but felt my own compulsions to at least see things be OK in the end— which, by nature of this being a early-seasons ds9 novel, we know going into it that they had to somehow have all the canon characters at least be alive at the end to stay canon-compliant. I chose to see how the story would do so because I felt it would, to quote Kirk, “give me emotional security” to see the (relatively) HEA.
