Well, in the sense that I bought 11 Doctors, 11 Stories and then I bought the slipcase 12 Doctors, 12 Stories, 12 Postcards, and I’m not buying any more x Doctors, x Stories releases.
This one had such an interesting idea, the Doctor and the Fam realize everyone is missing an entire year from their memories and investigate only to learn it’s all because of a creepy Time Agent who is in love with a woman he met and cannot handle rejection. I tried to like this one because of the mystery and the fun creatures but honestly the Time Agent was far too creepy for me.
And here’s where my copy ends, will probably do the next two on audiobook and feel very weird ticking them off as read
yeah that guys a creep, I would also reject him. The idea of everyone forgetting 2004 specifically though was funny. I liked the story mostly but yeah i wouldn’t even be his friend after that.
Good prose and good story overall, but, yeah, this Time Agent is a creep (the kind of ‘hopeless romantic’ that quickly becomes far less innocent - like, what funny poses are you talking about? )
