Star Trek: The Next Generation: Crossover by Michael Jan Friedman
adventurous
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.0
So I listened to this as an audiobook instead of reading it, which is definitely more fun when at least one of the OG actors does it, which in this case it was none other than trombone man Riker!
Anyway, it was a fun enough premise and hearing Frakes impersonate the other characters was a gift, but overall it was just, ehhhh. Like a fun enough fanfic that doesn't land that well but you don't mind because you didn't have high hopes from the start and just wanted the comfort of reading about your faves getting up to hijinks. Although I refuse to believe that high ranking Romulans had no idea who Spock was. Like??? SPOCK????? PROBABLY THE FIRST HALF HUMAN VULCAN EVER?????? COME ON!!!
