Chapter By Chapter (usually) features me reading one chapter of the selected book at a time and reviewing it as if I were reviewing an episode of a TV show or an issue of a comic. There will be spoilers if you haven’t read to the point I have, and if you’ve read further I ask that you don’t spoil anything further into the book. Think of it as a read-along book club.
Last time we managed to save and doom everybody in one chapter. Just another day on the Starship Enterprise.
We’re now halfway through the book, the point where I often start to run out of non-spoiler ways to pad out the intro. I can say that, while I’ve been more critical since this is a review and I’m a critic, overall I’m still enjoying the book. Minor remembrances from the first time I read this book have crept in a bit, but who knows what I’m misremembering? The book seems to be piling on problems, but we mostly resolved two of them, and it could have put people where they need to be for the story. There’s still the big plague and the social fallout, the two big issues of the story. One is the plot and other the character drama Star Trek used to be known for. It will be interesting to see what I remember as we continue on.
So…let’s continue on. We’re still on the ship, but potentially so is the plague.
