Review of Rictus by Guardax

27 March 2025

This review contains spoilers!

This story was good fun, and classic Torchwood. Torchwood has always interestingly wedded the subversive with the aristocratic, and this story is no different. After Queen Victoria's death (funny enough we just in January had a story based around exactly this - Lord of Misrule), her youngest, Beatrice, is given Torchwood. She completely stumbles in and upsets a perfectly negotiated truce with a group of Zygons living peacefully. It turns out, however, that Beatrice is not quite as innocent as we'd think. Was King Edward VII replaced by a Zygon duplicate? It's likelier than you think!
