Review of Frida Kahlo and the Skull Children by Owen

14 April 2025

This review contains spoilers!

I really like the Thirteenth Doctor and Frida Kahlo’s interactions, they’re pretty much perfect, and reading just them doing stuff is a delight, but the stuff around the ‘villains’ I struggle a little with. There seems a bit of a weird morality in them with how Kappa just gets ‘fixed’ for being curious (and like I know that’s not the message they want to give off, but it is what happens in the story and I can’t help but be a bit nicked by it) and how the Doctor really just lets the Caretans willingly be locked up in a dream world. Like getting them out of what she puts them in here seems like the premise of another Doctor Who story lol. And just like. It’s a bit weird. They just agree, story solved. Though apart from that, I think this is a lovely story!
