This was the book that sold me on the VNAs! Truth be told I found much of the first half a little waffling and roundabout, but it builds to such a delightful, triumphant conclusion. I love those finall chapters-they’re joyous!
It’s full of fun and interesting ideas as well. I adore Saul, the sentient church. I also think that out of the Timewyrm saga it captures the Doctor and Ace best. They feel real here, especially Ace.
I was listening to an interview with a Big Finish writer (can’t remember who, unfortunately) who said that it should be appreciated just how much of a game changer Revelation was at the time. I mean, compare it to the previous books and the TV series, and the ideas and format are so exciting and new. I’d have to agree! It’s a burst of energy in a book range which up until now, at least to me, felt very traditional. Really like this one!
