*Spoilers for Dominion story*

This book was alright. The Ferengi story was the breeziest of all six novellas. Having read it a month or so ago, I can't say that I found it all that memorable though. It was the least earth-shattering of them all.

The Dominion story I found ultimately ringing hollow with all this retroactively inserted belief system of a Progenitor. It's kind of hard to build the foundation of a house when it has already been built. I loved the other insights into Dominion society though, seeing things from their perspective. One thing confused me: they said there's no young or children, but that there are "unformed" areas of the Link. So what exactly is the different?

Though I can't say I like too much the turn of events at the end, with the Great Link apparently trying to commit mass suicide by breaking up. And although Odo and Laas are basically now the leaders of the Dominion, I don't know where they think that was the case. It was never said that the departing Founders were giving up their control of the Dominion.

I get the impression that we're going to see a Federation/Dominion alliance against the Ascendants, which is alright though it'll be the upteenth reiteration of banding together for a common purpose storyline. It means less work for the two to actually come to their own peace.

In general, a few of the stories in The Worlds of Deep Space Nine represent the first real mis-steps of the DS9 Relaunch, which has generally been very good since its beginning in 2001.
