Reactions and Reviews
1992
A very long and interesting story. I was thrilled from the first to the last page. Normally I don't prefer Mirror- stories, but this one was special. The portrait of this insane Kirk was perfect. And I love this strong and compassionate Spock! [1]
1994
Even though this Mirror Kirk was badly damaged, I loved his penchant for outrageous behavior -- especially the speech in praise of traitors to the Empire. It's the unpredictable maverick aspect of Kirk that I find most attractive. At the same time I realize that in the context of the story Kirk was being intentionally self-destructive. This is realistic given his traumatic childhood. Sharon portrays Kirk's shaky psychological state with great insight and sympathy. [2]
