I admit I had a lot of fun with this audio. It is not exceptional but I did find it very easy to listen to. It weirdly reminded me of a better version of Vampires of Venice, even though that TV episode features a very different Venice of the past compared to this one's future, Stones of Venice felt like a fun little historical (even if it wasn't). The intrigue and fish people really felt like just another cozy Doctor Who adventure, weirdly enough. At a time when I was taking a bit of a break from Big Finish, this audio managed to get me back into the swing of things again as just this enjoyable, relatively simple story.
