Review of Gods and Monsters by sircarolyn

I was a little uncertain going into this one as I vaguely knew what was going to happen to Hex, and the other two in the trilogy set a high standard. But delightfully, Gods and Monsters did not let me down.

Often, I find stories about gods and all-powerful beings to be kind of dull because you can reach a point where the stakes are so high they become as boring as if there were none. But with Gods and Monsters, I enjoyed the inevitability of it - possibly helped by knowing, ultimately, that Hex was going to die. I enjoyed how the Doctor's schemes unravelled, and how yet again his companions were trapped in the consequences of his meddling.

However Hex did not die. I mean, he kind of did. But not in the way I was expecting. Not only was his farewell to Ace genuinely upsetting to the point that I had to take a walk so as not to cry in the workshop, but hearing him at the end with the gods has me genuinely excited for his return, and to see where this story goes.
