Really interesting story that perfectly introduces The Forge which is a group I’ve been looking forward to meeting  for a good long while from the little I knew of the EU they really interested me, this story is also definitely dark in places and I understand how that may not be for everyone but I didn’t mind personally compared to even just some of the stuff from S22 I’d argue it’s at least a little more tasteful if a little edgy and surface level maybe…  Six & Evelyn’s dynamic here is also just top tier stuff I love the tension they have in this particular story but at the end they still care for each other it’s just good stuff and I’m going to be sad when I move onto the 7/Ace/Hex arc soon.

I found this one to be rather dull in parts.
The vampire twist was cool - other then that was really uninteresting

Disclaimer: This Review features slight Spoilers for Jubilee, you have been warned!

I love Vampires, they are my favorite classical Monsters, there is so much you can do with them. I'd argue even with some of their lesser stellar Outing in the Past, be it in Novels or Films, there is still at least something to grab on it.

'Project Twilight' still has Elements I like, Ideas which are intriguing and yet.. what did I listen to?

I am somebody who argues Doctor Who can and at times *should*, if it's allowed to explore some darker themes, which you couldn't do on the TV Show and yes this Story does explore some mature Topics. But I sadly cannot emphasize on it, exploring it well.

Its graphic Imagery feels 'edgy' at times, almost trying to shock you and making you go: "Oh this is Doctor Who?" and it just doesn't work. It feels like it does all of it for the sake of it.

Let's look at a later, more grim 6 Story! 'Jubilee' has some dark Imagery as well, but with this one, despite it being at times more violent. I mean, 6 loses his legs, it never feels like Shearman does it because he can, he uses his Imagery to emphasize how this version of 6 feels lost. Can you tell me when and if this Story does that? No? We are just basically torturing a poor Woman?

It feels unnecessary cruel. Now, do I think a cruel Story can work? Oh, Absolutely!! But Cavan just writes a very cruel Story, which I argue (at least for me) lacks some Depth or the Reason to be that.

And yet I do like some of its Concept presented here, the Forge seems interesting for example. All of our Actors do a good Job at it and if it wasn't for them and giving in a solid Performances, I think I would dislike this Audio much more.

Again I mentioned it somewhere before, but I hate to be negative, but I can't hide my Disappointment, I love me a good Vampire Tale, but this just puts me off.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. I didn't see the vampire twist coming, and thought the Forge teases for this arc were perfectly set up. I am SO intrigued how this arc is going to continue in future stories. I also enjoyed the dynamic between the Doctor and Evelyn being a bit more strained than usual, I love when companions stand up to him and don't take his nonsense.

Dark and gritty story built and entwined into an eerie atmosphere, with underwhelming and forgettable villains, in a plot not quite cohesive enough.
