Fluffy feel good popcorn

I really enjoyed this, it’s my 1st audiobook and I picked it specifically because it was voiced by Kate Mulgrew. It’s a fun story full of moments that make you laugh, Kate’s performance is the thing I treasured the most about this audiobook, and it’s fun learning about Janeway’s early days.

I have 2 minor gripes:

The almost complete focus on Voyager’s time in the delta quadrant leaves me feeling unsatisfied, it’s great to hear her grappling with the morality of splitting Tuvix but this like many other parts of the story are feelings and thoughts that were pretty well explored in the episode. Equinox is another example, but it’s a bit more fleshed out. Too many memberberries, I wanted to know more about what happened off screen, the quiet moments and the things that weren’t the crisis of the week.

I really enjoyed the original writing parts at the beginning and the end, but I desperately wish there was more focus on the post return time. At least 7 and Icheb get a much nicer life in this book than they do in Picard, but it’s not clear when this memoir is being written.

Overall, 8/10. Really enjoyed it, but I probably won’t listen to it again knowing it’s more of a recap of her time in the delta quadrant.

Such an enjoyable listen

Hearing Kathryn Janeway's story, in her own voice, delightful!

Kate Mulgrew IS Janeway, you will never be able to tell me any different.

Listening to this story puts a whole new spin on one of my favourite TV shows and Mulgrew's performance is perfect. It was like listening to Captain Janeway regaling tales of her life as if she were sitting before you sipping coffee.

loved it

Immensely satisfying - was always disappointed in the voyager ending only because it didn't show an aftermath for the characters. This was the tying up of loose ends. Live long and prosper. 😊

Well written and very entertaining

I am a Voyager tragic and Kate Mulgrew fan and it’s not surprising I loved this book. It is well written and insightful and adds another dimension to the series and the character.

Gives great insight into issues in the series and gathers up all the loose ends left by the Voyager last episode.

A must for Janeway and Voyager fans

It so perfectly answered all my questions when the series ended. It also gave me insight into my favourite captain and her life before, during and after Starfleet. Kate Mulgrew’s narrative of course is perfect and I’ll be listening to this one over and over. It’s perfect. I loved it.

Fantastic

Was wonderful to have Kate Mulgrew for this, she was absolutely fantastic!
It was great to be able to have Janeway doing her own biography, helped relive many great memories and moments from the series.
Also got to learn more about some of the central characters and events that weren't covered during Voyager which was awesome.
Highly recommend
