A review by gingerreader99
Doctor Who: Love and War by Paul Cornell

3.0

Even with quite a stellar if heartbreaking conclusion this just didn't wow me the way I had hoped. Ace felt off ? For most of the book that is, and I had to double back and read her wiki to put together why she's back with the Doctor and Bernice in later novels in the series (it adds up now knowing more of her story), not to mention it does frustrate me when characters fall in love within days of meeting someone, and the relationship with Jan just didn't seem to fit with the image I have of ace, but again some of the Ace content I've read comes after this so that may have soured my expectations.

The Doctor also was much darker than usual even for 7 and I appreciate the darker tones of the New Doctor Who adventures generally but this just wasn't the winner for me.

Still, I am looking forward to Transit after this and more New Doctor Who Adventures books in the future.
