I really like the Thirteenth Doctor and Frida Kahlo’s interactions, they’re pretty much perfect, and reading just them doing stuff is a delight, but the stuff around the ‘villains’ I struggle a little with. There seems a bit of a weird morality in them with how Kappa just gets ‘fixed’ for being curious (and like I know that’s not the message they want to give off, but it is what happens in the story and I can’t help but be a bit nicked by it) and how the Doctor really just lets the Caretans willingly be locked up in a dream world. Like getting them out of what she puts them in here seems like the premise of another Doctor Who story lol. And just like. It’s a bit weird. They just agree, story solved. Though apart from that, I think this is a lovely story!

This book was a pleasant surprise. It is a quick easy read, but it is written from the perspective of an eighteen year old Frida Kahlo. The book felt authentic to early 20th century Mexico City and the Thirteenth Doctor was the correct choice to inspire a young Frida.
