Full Circle by Kirsten Beyer
3.0
I went back and forth several times over the course of this one whether I liked it or I hated it, so I finally settled somewhere in the middle.
Full Circle is really two connected stories that start out with the continuing adventures of B'Elanna Torres and Miral Paris. I'm in the minority in that I don't care for most Klingon stories so this was a bit of a chore for me. The second connected story sets up the continuing adventures of the USS Voyager.
2 things bug me about this book:
1) I'm sure B'Elanna is a fantastic engineer, but given what we've seen on the show I think the she was doing some work beyond the Federation's abilities.
2) The layout of the story bothers me too. Several "scenes" are told in flashbacks within a larger frame, but the perspective doesn't make sense in the context of who is telling them. Character A might be recalling something that happened a year ago, but the book will go on for quite a while telling what happened to Character B, even though it has little to do with Character A and he wasn't even there.
