Review of The Clockwise Man by RandomJoke

18 April 2025

Sadly, this one doesn’t impress. It’s far from being ‘bad’, but if I have to describe it, it would be ‘competent, even if it’s a little flat’. It feels clear that this was written before the Revival really came out, and at times it does benefit it. I feel like the Supporting Cast is build up fairly strongly, and I can’t lie, a Book with Nine that feels like the classic Series has a touch to it. Sadly, Nine feels very generic here and doesn’t feel like his TV Self all that much, and the same can be said for Rose. It’s a decent read and really has an Oddity Status due to it being clearly more inspired of the previous Identity of the Show, sadly it doesn’t engage me all that much. The Story is fine, but a bit cliché. Not as egregious as the Start of the VNAs, but sadly much more boring to discuss than Timewyrm I.
