Fantastic review! I must admit you had me at "TARDIS-load of honest-to-Eru geek cred" *heart*

"I confessed in a Goodreads update that Kobna Holdbrook-Smith’s voice reduces me to a state of squeeing fangirl; it’s an understatement, I admit. "
I would happily listen to him read a phone book...or the manual of our toaster XD

And yes to all of this. I love all the geeky references (and Nightingale's cluelessness)
