The whole "modern tech in ancient times" angle felt a little underdeveloped, and the who body swap thing was creepy.

recommend skipping this one

Its relief to transport Lucie and The Doctor to a more regal, stately setting which sits in sharp contrast to the first two stories. It is the strongest installment of the series so far - a proper sci-fi concept developed into a twisty, clever plot. The reincarnation machine concept gives the actors a fun and dynamic way of playing multiple characters. It leaves room for a few surprises and plenty of subterfuge. Its certainly the first installment that had me gasp with surprise!

A slightly underwhelming story (the ending is very obvious) is lifted substantially by the quality of the vocal performance.

Unfortunately, I found this story quite uncomfortable and confusing at times. Whilst for the main part, the story is relatively interesting the idea of a man and his wife attempting to live forever as gods by cloning themselves and transferring their minds is interesting. However, I think the issues come with the plot.

The plot struggled to keep me invested. I found the characters to be relatively dull too. The opening is a very melodramatic scene akin to the opening scene of The Armageddon Factor. These scenes made me quite confused the opening made it difficult form to place where the story was set ie the future or the past. Plus the melodrama is overdone making me lose interest. The villain of the piece 'Zeus' (the choice to name him after a god made the story even more confusing for me) is very unlikeable, of course, this is intentional however it does feel very  uncomfortable especially in the scenes between him and Lucie.

I will add that for the relationship between the Doctor and Lucie feels rushed, it doesn't feel like their relationship has grown naturally the Doctor's dependence on her is said rather than shown.

Overall the story is fine if not flawed, and worth listening to if you're going through the Lucie Miller stories.
