So so bad

(Anonymous) 2012-10-20 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
Are the Voy books as bad as the TNG ones?

Because the same thing sort of happened with Picard/Crusher - they finally get together in the novels. I spent basically my entire formative years desperate for them to work out and then furious at the films which ignored Crusher entirely. So I should have been euphoric when they finally got together in the books.

But the post-Nem novels are so so so so so so so so so so so so terrible that I can't bear them. They're like bad fanfic, but fanfic by people who aren't even really feeling the ship so they aren't even in earnest. It's complete tripe, and now I'd nearly rather they'd left them alone.

But then, the end-game for P/C in canon was less anti-shipper than the J/C ending to begin with.

No, on the whole they're much, much better. I put that down to consistency of authors: Christie Golden wrote the first four (Homecoming, The Farther Shore, Old Wounds and Enemy of My Enemy), and while they're not as good as the later ones, they're still worth reading for the set-up.

Kirsten Beyer is the author of the later novels, and her affection for this series and the characters shines through on every page. Don't get me wrong - they're not the greatest works of literature ever (bar Children of the Storm, which is a fantastic sci-fi novel in its own right), but the handling of the characters deserves plaudits. Not sure where the story is going to go post-Eternal Tide, but J/C and all the rest seem pretty safe in her hands.
