Reactions and Reviews

1990

I especially liked the last half of this story. It was interesting to me that the Vulcan half of Spock was portrayed as a demon unleashed, to be calmed by his human half. The imagery was wonderful in the meld sequence — the removal of the implanted memory was vividly written. Also interesting was Spock's inability to bond with Kirk because of his betrothal to T'Pring and his easy erasure of the memory. The romantic touch at the end was sweet and left me with a warm feeling. [1]

1996

Poignant and solid about a first time encounter. [2]
