Reactions and Reviews

Much time has passed since the previous story, yet there are ties to it that are appreciated. Kirk and Spock are bonded and are on their way to inform Spock‘s parents and ask their approval. As you might imagine, this cannot be easy, and their anxiety is palpable. I so enjoyed the interaction between them and Amanda, and even Sarek as events progressed. There are beautiful shared moments and tender intimate ones. Again, a beautiful love story.
