femmealunettes: (hello trekkies!)
I just finished reading The Wounded Sky. I was full-on crying for the last 50 pages or so.

There's a point in almost all of Diane Duane's books where everything is brought into such honesty and clarity that you can't help but get overwhelmed, or I can't, at least. The way she can bring to light the best and most brilliant aspects of any character...

My head aches now, from the crying and a little bit from the physics, lol. But they're good tears. Like my brain has just been hugged.

I very strongly suggest finding this book, to all TOS fans on my flist, and if you aren't then go find So You Want To Be A Wizard and I dare you not to get emotional at the end.

My favorite author playing with some of my longtime favorite characters = absolute wonder and joy.

dofjgdjgdf I LOVE THAT. I just... that novel just kills me. It's the bit where McCoy cannot stand to create a universe with pain that just reduces me into bawling. It's so fucking beautiful.

EXACTLY. That was EXACTLY the point where I had to close the book and just breathe for a minute, because oh god, McCoy.

I was tearing up well before that... the bit about them seeing each other so clearly, McCoy blazing with his compassion and Spock vivid with his thirst for knowledge, and then McCoy asks "Isn't that armor heavy?" and Kirk's like "Wut?" Fuck, that part always makes me choke up.

McCoy... that was the book that turned me into a McCoy fangirl. But the whole book is like that - and all the bits where Scotty and K'tl'k are making friends! It's so awesome.
