The Eaters Of Light is a really good version of a somewhat underrated 12 episode by the wonderful Rona Munro (I’ve always loved Survival and its novel), it’s a pretty straightforward story of a hungry creature from another dimension escaping a gate during a battle between Romans and essentially Picts in second century Scotland, it must be herded back in and the gate must be sealed for good. But Rona does have a lovely way with her prose, she especially likes describing the community of birds in the air, and she takes every opportunity to expand our understanding of both the surviving Roman legionnaires and the surviving Picts, the characters are very fleshed out here. It also emphasizes for me just how much I love the 12th Doctor, he’s outwardly one of the most intense and severe but inwardly one of the sweetest and cuddliest, he’s done very well here, as are Bill and Nardole. Love this TARDIS team so much, I’d love further novels from this series, Oxygen would be amazing, I think we’d all love Steven to do World Enough And Time. I read this one more slowly than some of the others, it’s nicely written. 4/5
