* [[Darkness-Induced Audience Apathy]]: The series can essentially be summed up as "personal pain-melodrama-genocide-repeat".
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Minor character Torvig Bu-kar-nguv has become rather popular, and his role in the series expanded significantly. The author who created him has expressed his pleasant surprise.
* [[Unfortunate Implications]]: The novels can sometimes come off as an extended exercise in white guilt, extended to white male guilt, taken to an extreme with white male ''human'' guilt. Riker spends almost an entire chapter bemoaning that he comes from "a culture built on rape and conquest"... ignoring that this could describe ''practically every culture on Earth''. Even assuming that's what he ''meant'', as opposed to just white Americans, it ignores that most other ''Star Trek'' cultures have similarly warlike pasts, [[My Species Doth Protest Too Much|despite the airs they put on]], and a lot of the rest of his current ship's crew have practices that are just as immoral to an outside observer as rape and conquest would be.
