In fact, it veers at times into soap opera. I'm not quite sure why I found this novel so compelling as there's very little in the way of a recognisable Doctor Who narrative. One highlight just to end on, is Reverend Annie Trelaw’s speech before the service, which feels very much like a love letter to the ongoing story of Doctor Who: “That’s why we’ll keep on going, and keep on having new adventures.” It’s gonna be weird moving onto the next run of books without her, but I’m hoping it will give Chris and Roz more of an opportunity to shine! We seem to nosedive into the more grating aspects of her character that the New Adventures introduced, but even then we do get a few good moments out of her, especially towards the end.Ĭhris and Roz get to take a backseat again, really, beyond Roz briefly having a subplot paired with Holmes, Watson, and none other than the Brigadier, and Chris sort of just gets a retread of what he did in The Also People.īut to be fair, it’s Benny’s big one so it’s understandable that she gets the focus for a bit. probably the only thing I don’t like about the entire book, if I’m honest. There’s an insane amount of guest appearances and cameos here, with pretty much every previous NA referenced or featured in some way - my favourites being the dip back into puterspace with the Travellers from Love and War, and getting some journal insights from John Watson.Īce (or Dorothée as she’s now occasionally called) shows up and is uhh. This is (sort of) Benny’s departure story, and it’s a pretty good one to ‘end’ on, and it manages to highlight just how ridiculous her and Jason’s relationship is in a way that I find much more believable than it was handled in Death and Diplomacy (though again, I do think this is something that should’ve been stretched out over a few books at least).

If I’m honest, I don’t really know how to go about reviewing this book properly because it’s just so fun I don’t really know where to start. I love that noise.Book 50 - finally made it! And what a way to celebrate! It’s gloriously unapologetic fanwank, up to and including a surprisingly unsurprising wedding crasher. The Doctor: Yes, well, it's a brilliant noise. River Song: It's not supposed to make that noise. The Doctor: But it didn't make the noise. River Song: Of course we've landed I just landed her. The Doctor: Parked us? But we haven't landed! River Song: Okay, I've mapped the probability vectors, done a foldback on the temporal isometry, charted the ship to its destination and. The Doctor: You call that flying the TARDIS? Ha! boring-ers!Īmy: Doctor, how come she can fly the TARDIS? The Doctor: Yeah? Well, it's boring now, isn't it? They're boring-ers! They're blue. River Song: Yes they're blue: they're the blue stabilisers! See? The Doctor: The blue ones don't do anything, they're just.
