I would just like to say that I am bad at wording things, and at discussing "quality" of things, so this is purely all about enjoyment levels. I was privileged to get an early look at the book and here within lie my - admittedly probably messily expressed - thoughts on the anthology. I've had this little review typed up for like a week now.

It will be interesting to see if they all eventually connect. The later always seem to fit the festive setting.Ĭoinciding with publication there has been another story released on-line that included Time Lord Victorious, many of the themes of this set resonates with those releases. Oddly it's the stories focusing on Osgood, Missy and The Paternoster Gang that are the most memorable. Whilst a cluster of Classic Doctor's midway through was a nice addition, the Plasmavore entry was practically Doctor-lite though!! The opener of a newly regenerated Ten with Rose visiting a panto about Time Lord history was fun. The placing of the stories seem to fit perfect aswell. I've heard Dave Rudden describing this as his chance to create a 12 story season but with the benefit of having all the different eras to pick from, that perfectly describes this collection.Īdmittedly it's very modern series heavy with his choice of Doctors, though each story is littered with multiple references to the past which long term fans will enjoy. It's such a neat idea to have an anthology collection written by just one author.
