The Third Wise Man is a good and solid Time War story, Rudden infused the prose with some of the lyrical mystery that Davies always managed to drop about the Time War, making it sound so beyond our understanding. However I still found the exploration of the Nightmare Child in this a bit simplistic, but few things could live up to the imagination of what it could be after so many years. The War Doctor is nicely characterised in this, and Davros' appearance is brief but good too. For a short story I think this is a nice piece of Time War media, it creates a nice sense of what it is, but it's events could definitely have been explored and fleshed out in a longer piece of work.
