Review of 1901: The Unknowing Mirror by paradoxboy

Ambiguous as hell, but thats how I like it

1901: The Unknowing Mirror was an excellent story. The characters were especially compelling and the pairing of the occult investigator, Mr Herbert Scott, and his associate, Father Felix Cromwell was a particular favourite from this adventure. Harkening back to Holmes and Watson, this duo work brilliantly off each other and are screaming for a spin-off. But I think they shine perfectly in this set, and should stay here as I would not want to mess with perfection.

The first 3/4 of this story is a much slower pace but it is absolutely rewarded by the end when you see what it has set up. All manner of prophecies have been made, the dominos have been set up and are ready to fall, beginning 100 years of a zygon invasion (a very long game indeed).

This era is a particular favourite of mine which pops up frequently in Big finish stories, and the writing by Jonathan Barnes does not disappoint. The characters all acted brilliantly and the ending leaves a lot to the imagination and its ambiguousness on who in fact was a zygon in this entire set as well as what truly befell our main characters on the Zygon ship.
