Don’t let the fact that this book doesn’t feature a full time companion put you off, June is an absolute gem. I would’ve been thrilled if she’d gotten a TV season. A contemporary companion who’s a historian has all kinds of wonderful potential, and this book certainly meets it. I just love everything about this book. This is the second NSA I’ve read by Simon Guerrier, and he’s churned out another banger. Great Doctor moments, both humorous and angsty, a fantastic temporary companion, compelling character interactions, and a unique plot. One of my favorite NSAs!
