Timewyrm: Revelation
This book was interesting and entertaining throughout, but like the first three Timewyrm books, it's still just missing something. I absolutely loved the deep dive on Ace. I feel this is the first time we've actually examined her as a character, and the different names for different versions of her throughout her life was so sick. We also saw the Doctor in a bit of a darker light, where he has literally taken the physical manifestation of his conscious and tied it to a tree, like a Christ-like figure. I know Ace and the Doctor have issues going forward and I think their dynamics in this book really add to what will be coming soon.
However, we're also introduced to a number of just really pointless characters. Trelaw, Emily, Saul, etc. At first I thought they must be from a classic series episode that I haven't seen, apparently not. Were introduced to these people like we're meant to know them, then they do nothing for 90% of the book except look around confused st each other. It wasn't the most engaging reading.
