Review of Warfare by JayPea

This is a really interesting one, and I've got both a lot and and not much to say about it.

Resolving(?) the Gallifreyan Civil War so quickly is definitely an interesting choice. While I think this story and Fractures both do a pretty solid job exploring the war, I feel they could have fleshed out this setting a whole lot more and it's a real shame they they didn't. Fractures felt like it was setting up this setting for a deeper exploration and then Warfare just kind of concludes it early to set up for the rest of the set which feels a little strange.

I can't help but feel like this series in particular would be a lot better binged rather than listening to one a week.

That said, there's a lot to like here, K9's subterfuge is just a delight, as is Romana's faith in him. I love the tactical maneuvering from everyone in this, the scene with Darkel and Narvin was especially a highlight for me. I love the way Pandora is dealt with, using the events of previous stories. I love how Romana is willing to sacrifice herself, Leela's response to that, the way that Leela saves her at the end and her initial disbelief at it.

I do think I'd give a higher rating if I binged these, as I didn't I'm giving it a 7/10, but if my rating goes up, you'll know why
