I thought it was really well done. It's dual timeline with Uhura as the focus in one and a Vulcan cadet a couple years later in the other, with their story lines converging towards the end revolving around a hundred year old Federation mystery. I enjoyed it a lot and had a hard time holding off on reading the next issue and waiting until the next day. I would definitely recommend it if you're a Star Trek fan. FYI: this one is based in the new timeline of the new movies if that's a factor for you.

Sorry for not updating sooner.
I had decided one book and divide it into chapters randomly.

It was kinda difficult to read such a small amount of pages each day. I had to stop myself each time because I usually keep reading through. This is such a difficult task for me-- it would have been easier if I use 24 different books or short stories but didn't have time.
