YMMV / Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Relaunch

• Contested Sequel: Of a sort. The initial set of the relaunch (Avatar through roughly Worlds of DS9) are still heavily praised by a majority of readers. But after the time jump to the period after Star Trek: Destiny, when the novels are solely written by David R George III, and much of the cast have changed positions or even left the station entirely, you find a much more divided opinion in the fan base of the quality of the novels. While they're technically a unified line, the time jump makes for enough of a dividing line that makes a pretty easy way to simply stop reading where the reader is comfortable.
• Moral Event Horizon: See here.
• Nightmare Fuel: The Kurlan Takers of Gist.
• Tear Jerker: Shar and his zhavey reconciling in Worlds of Deep Space Nine: Andor:
  "it is not in our people's nature to be alone".
  • Thriss' suicide.
  • Stessie dying, and her final goodbye with Glessin.
  • Garak: "There is no home anymore! Can't you see, it's gone!"
  • Taran'atar altering his Badass Creed before his Heroic Sacrifice. "I am dead. I go into battle to reclaim my life. This, I do gladly, for I am Jem'Hadar. This, I do gladly...for my friend Kira Nerys."
• The Woobie: Quite possibly Taran'atar, of all people. Also, things often go badly for Kira. But she keeps on trucking: an Iron Woobie.
