Review of The Angel of Redemption by OctaviaTheNerd

30 September 2024

I don't write reviews often, but I feel like this release justifies one.

 

Simply put, this is one of the best and most unique Doctor Who books I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Told in the medium of an epic poem, this book is effectively one giant lore dump about the history of The Weeping Angels told from the perspective of the one that killed Amy and Rory. The book evokes such a profound sense of sorrow for this Angel, making you genuinely sympathise with it as it searches for its lost partner whilst telling you the story of how it came to be where it is.

 

The 11th Doctor is merely set dressing in what is ostensibly a Weeping Angel story, and a very sad story at that. I shan't write too much more but I urge anyone who hasn't read this book to read it
