The thing I love about these books is it gives you the thing you wish you had more of, time. Getting to see more of your favourite Doctor and Companion(s) in new adventures - even if they aren’t on screen.
When reading these books it’s like watching an episode, I read what the characters say in their voice and I can imagine the Doctor marvelling over a top hat, they truly do come to life even if it’s just your imagination, it feels like they were truly episodes.
I absolutely loved how we saw a lot of Rory and his thoughts throughout Paradox Lost, normally it’s more focused on the Doctor and Amy but it felt nice to have an adventure that was more Rory centric which is something I wished we saw in a TV episode.
One thing I thought the book done well was remind us of how dangerous the Doctor can be, quite a few times with Angelchrist’s chapters I found myself being reminded of Vampires in Venice when Rory told the Doctor he was dangerous and made people dangerous. We see the Doctor through a new pair of eyes and how easy it is for someone to just follow the Doctor despite all the danger and how easy it is to get caught up with him and to follow him.
I’m glad I picked this one up.
