Review of Fleeting Faces by hallieday

9 November 2024

The Fourteenth Doctor #02

'Fleeting Faces' from Fifteen Doctors 15 Stories.


Three stories in one here, the first being a novelisation of the Children in Need Destination: Skaro minisode, which doesn't really do anything to expand upon the source material in any way unfortunately and really just makes you re-experience the exact same scenario but just a little bit longer because you have to read it. The next two stories coming from both Doctor Who The Official Annual 2024 and Ten Days of Christmas, Under Control is an intriguing set-up with Into Control being a satisfying enough conclusion bringing back the Sycorax in an appropriately cyclical fashion, being the Tenth Doctor's first enemy encounter. Neither of these stories particuarly stand out to me in any way, but they're a decent short time spent with the Fourteenth to add to his character ever so slightly more.
