LGBTQA+ Location (Potential Spoilers!) Empire City, Olleril Synopsis Tomorrow, Tragedy Day. Tomorrow, total control. In Empire City on the planet Olleril, it's time for the annual Tragedy Day — when the privileged few celebrate their generosity to the masses. But this year, something is different. Hideous creatures infest the waters around an island that doesn't officially exist. Assassins arrive to carry out a killing that may endanger the entire universe. A being known as the Supreme One tests horrific weapons. And a secret order of monks observes the growing chaos. Five minutes after they arrive on Olleril, the TARDIS crew know they want to leave. But Ace is imprisoned in a sinister refugee camp, and Bernice and the Doctor are in the custody of a brutal police gang. There is no way out.

Disclaimer, any praise I give this book is directed only towards the writing and not the author himself , thank you! tragedy is a weird one to review, coming after the alternate history cycle the main trios relationship has very much healed to a point where they’re all buddy buddy with eachother again, which makes this a really fun read, GRoberts uses his witty dialogue and Douglas Adam’s esque writing to make this book a really enjoyable romp which made me really laugh at times, the ending was kinda… weird, with how the supreme one suddenly falls for Bernice, in a um… interesting let’s say way, but the rest of the book is enjoyable as it can get, the stuff with the friars of pangloss is kind of shoved in and them being villains in the end was kind of unnecessary? i DIDNT like it and thought it made the plot a bit all over the place but this book was a nice little breather after the really intense and dark last few books. Overall okay, I think it’s better than highest science but sits at just alright for me as a kind of filler , but fun read Voyxger View profile Like Liked 1 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
