The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway — Una McCormack

By 5t4n5

The Autobiography of Kathryn Janeway -- Una McCormackI’ve been looking forward to reading this for quite some time now but just haven’t gotten around to it until now.   And i’m glad i finally did.

Admittedly, this book will only be for those of us who totally loved Star Trek Voyager and it’s brilliant captain and crew.   If you do fall into this niche market and you haven’t yet read this book, then please do so, i can’t imaging anyone who loved the series would be disappointed with this lovely book.

My only gripe, is that we had to wait for so long for it to be written and published.   I would have loved to have read this before, during and after the series, it would have been a wonderful companion for every viewer.

But, it is what it is, and it was wonderful to be taken back in time to relive a few memories of the series, and also to find out lots more about Kathryn and her life before and after.

And i just found The Autobiography of Jean-Luc Picard, and it certainly won’t be long before i read that.

Mother of the Year — Rachel Aaron

By 5t4n5

Mother of the Year -- Rachel AaronAs usual i check the loc points when i open a book on my Kindle.   This one said 800, so was obviously a short, but i was rather disappointed when it suddenly ended after 242 loc points and i find the rest is just a marketing exercise for a future book in the series.   It’s a very short, short masquerading as a normal short.

But, ho hum, it was free for signing up to the mailing list so maybe i shouldn’t moan too much.   But just as you’re getting into Bethesda’s character and you’re really looking forward to the other 3/4’s of the 800 loc points being filled with even more revealing stuff, you realise you’re not getting what you hoped so much for.

So what’s the 242 loc points about?   Bethesda gets interviewed on another dragon’s chat show.

Sadly, only a little bit of background into Bethesda’s character, and her attitude towards her children, before moving onto the rest of the series: i so wished there was more.
