It’s fun, it’s electric, it’s chaotic, it’s imaginative and a damn good time but you can really tell it was Orman’s first novel.
The plot is messy as anything and Orman had simply too many ideas, causing an incredibly overbloated narrative.
But some great character writing, a genuinely brilliant antagonist and a real sense of adventure mean this is still a highlight of the VNAs first half.
Also maybe the best title of any Doctor Who story

Honestly pure banger I don’t think it’s Kate ormans best work having done vampire science a couple years ago I still call that her best so far but I loved the use of time jumping and Benny was a stand out for me here
