A review by sp1derfairy
Living Memory by Christopher L. Bennett
medium-paced
3.0
i really enjoyed this star trek novel. i love that it dives into uhura’s history, her characterization, and the effects of nomad upon her life. the lack of continuity and consequences in TOS is always the thing that has bothered me the most, so it’s refreshing to see a story centered around both of those.
i like how self-reflective this book is (i mean that’s the entire theme), and it is very fitting. i enjoy bennett’s exploration of star trek and i really enjoy his characterizations. he’s a very nice writer.
the dialogue becomes a little hard to read sometimes because of the hanging quotation marks, which i thought was an odd choice.
i really enjoyed the author’s notes at the end and how many sources bennett consulted to create this. i love how star trek novels are such dedicated forms of fan fiction, it’s very sweet.
