A review by cronareads
Doctor Who: Dreamstone Moon by Paul Leonard
4.0
The story drags a bit with some of the muti perspectives without adding a whole lot. Themes of extraction, xenophobia and when violence is warranted, what is a life worth saving and responsibility are handled fairly well.
Spoilers after here-

The doctor ending up killing the antagonist was surprising to me, and very much was an act of killing one to save many. It's always interesting how the doctor is willing to make these decisions but admonishes others.
This choice waxes and wanes depending on which doctor we have become more pronounced as time goes on, though 9 struggles to do so due to time war trauma. But 10, 11 and 12 do make these choices.
I appreciate this story recognizing previous losses the doctor has had and the theme in the EDAs up to this point of his taking of companions especially young ones, explicitly referencing Ace.
