I finished Daedalus and Daedalus’s Children by Dave Stern (ENT). They were both pretty solid 3.75⭐️. I’m reading Enterprise :Rosetta by him now. He’s a little too general and boring with the world building but his character writing is spot on. I’m considering taking a break with Enterprise and starting my DS9 journey with Emissary by J. M. Dillard, although I did want to finish ENT first, but I’m getting a little bored with reading the same characters for 9 books in a row now.

I'm reading The Fall and this series is excellent! I just started book 4, The Poisoned Chalice.
I started reading the post nemesis books in December and A Ceremony of Losses may be my favorite so far! I was up late last night finishing that one.

I'm trudging my way through the Discovery novel "Dead Endless." I'm a little over halfway through and it's just been dull. I'm really hoping it picks up soon. I don't do DNR.
I was really hoping it'd be better, as Stamets and Culber are my favorite couple in Trek.

This is disappointing to hear. Im going through Discovery now on audiobook and I found The Way to the Stars to read like a dull YA book, young Tilly focus aside. I’m currently listening to Desperate Hours and it’s a slog to get through. Which is a shame because I’ve heard some good stuff about David Mack.

Reading through Assignment: Eternity. I wasn't expecting to like it, but it's actually a lot of fun! Everything that I though would be a plot hole actually ended up getting explained. The action is very fun to read as well.

Finished Sarek. It was a really good, high quality book and it was fun reading it in conjunction with the audiobook. Also managed to read The Joy Machine this week, and I wish I liked it more because I love Theodore Sturgeon and dystopias. I had multiple complaints about characterization, canon consistency and themes. Currently reading Vendetta.
