It's like any short story collection, a mixed bag of good and meh. There are a lot of slightly different takes (an interesting mash of Edgar Rice Burroughs and Conan Doyle in The Snowthorn Terror). For me none of the stories really stood out exceptionally as very good but neither did they stand o...

This would have been better as an episode as opposed to a novel. There were certain plot points which just did not work on the page; however, it did have the trappings of a good episode.

Excellent writing, great plot and although I have not seen Doctor Who with the newest Doctor, the characterization in this book is so interesting that it makes me want to see the show.

Gives the new doctor a side-eye look. I'm not sure how I feel about you anymore! On the other hand, this book was full of killer robots. "Now I was traveling through a barricade of lethal robots." "'You got a robot nanny to carry you about now? Seriously? Because of your hurty toe...

It lacked a lot of the spirit of the characters. Clara, as always, was pretty bland like she is in the show, which is to be expected. Unfortunately, so is The Doctor. He lacked any of his typical quirks and attitude as observed with Capaldi on the show. I will say, however, that the plot was intrigu...

I have been very bad with watching Doctor Who since they change the Doctor. Not that I didn't mind the change. I like Peter Capaldi as the Doctor; I just haven't had time to watch it. But among my countless ebooks did I find this book that I had requested from NetGalley and since I felt that I neede...

This is my first 12th Doctor book and if all of them are as good as this one, I'll be the eventual owner of all of them. This book knocked my socks off, turning what I thought would be an easy, fun read into a thought-provoking and disturbing book. We start out with an unnamed narrator, who is the...

(I got a copy courtesy of NetGalley, in exchange for an honest review.)Third 12th Doctor novel I read, and this one was quite surprising, in a way I hadn't expected. It's narrated from the point of view of a secondary character, and not in the usual third person POV I've seen used in the other DW no...
