Review of The Bookshop at the End of the World by thedefinitearticle63

This is part of a series of reviews of Doctor Who in chronological timeline order.

Previous Story: Lightspeed


What a story, you really don't expect anything like this from something that has "_______ of the Daleks" on the cover. If I had to compare this to another story, it would be Midnight, it's a very claustrophobic character-based thriller. I know an amnesiac Doctor is an overdone trope but man is it done well here.

The dynamics between the characters are all fantastic, you really don't know whether to feel uneasy or safe, much like the characters themselves. The resolution is not exactly what I expected but I can't complain as it was definitely well set up. Overall, this is the strongest story of the anthology by lightyears and I love how ambiguous it's all left.


Next Story: Interlude
