I really like timey-wimey stories, and I'm a big fan of stories that play with the format aswell. Sprinkle in some really emotional themes and you get a great story that I thoroughly enjoyed. There's a lot to like about this one even if I'm not entirely sure on how the time-travel stuff worked towards the end.
Thomas Brewster is a fun character, a brilliant foil to 5 and Nyssa. He has a very tragic backstory which I appreciate but he really seems to shrug it off for most of the story. I'm looking forward to seeing how his character develops especially after that cliffhanger. I still can't believe that they pulled the same thing twice in a row.
I strongly recommend this story, great time-travel mystery and I personally love stories that go "full circle" like that.
