Overall, this story is fine, the way this year is all one long story and it's split up so often does mean there's often stories with a bit less to talk about though.
The art doesn't really work for me in the first issue, there's a panel where River looks like Four (she's wearing his clothes, but still, her hair and face look off). It goes to a better one for the start of the second issue, but then goes back, it's a bit weird and inconsistent, but when it does go back it's better than it started
Great character moments with River knowing why Eleven looked for her and her way of reassuring him is great.
Four having wiped Shada from his memory is a fun little nod to the story's fate. It doesn't quite work with the multiple references to it in expanded media, but it's still fun. The sentient computer too feels very Adams especially the way they were able to get away from it, with it not having any way to deal with Squire.
I also noticed that when the copies of all the characters show up, there's one for Squire but they're in the background in shadow, we don't get to see them at all, I'm definitely interested in seeing where exactly this goes, and the cliffhanger that the Master was there but at least thinks The Doctor did it is interesting.
Overall though, it's just another piece of the whole, and it's a bit frustrating how long we have to wait to get any answers, just being drip fed small ones along the way..... I guess it's a good representation of the era because of it though.
