Review of Timewyrm: Apocalypse by RandomJoke

16 June 2025

I must admit I was a bit unsure what to make of this one, I barely hear much good from this book, but like I mentioned with my Thoughts about Birthright, I actually found myself enjoying this one quite a bit.
Is it a bit safe at times? I would argue so, but safe doesn’t have to be always bad, sure safe can be quite uninspiring at times, but I’d argue while it does have some of the ambition of its precursors, it knows what it is, that being, in my Opinion, a pretty enjoyable short Book. I don’t think it ever outstays its welcome and if it was longer, I might be more incline to agree that this one is a weak one, but no I do think what it sets out to do is done quite well.

While at first a bit confusing, I think having the second Doctor and some of his Companions here was a delightful surprise to me. Similarly to our main Tardis Duo, I think all of them got a good Characterization, which you do think shouldn’t be mentioned, but after the first Entry of the Timewyrm Saga is something I will highlight whenever I can.

While yes, it doesn’t hold much merit in its Arc of the Timewyrm, I honestly don’t mind, so far the Arc hasn’t really gripped me, so I really don’t mind personally speaking that it basically is almost ‘forgotten’ here.
