I liked The Wolves of Winter, but I feel like too many elements got added - which I feel is easy to fall into when there aren’t the constraints of the medium like TV or audio stories

The Wolves of Winter: That one was a disappointment, honestly. I mean there are Aspects, I do like: The Setting is quite a unique one, and I think was done well. The use of the Ice Warriors is also one Aspect, I rather like, from all the returning Elements those were probably the best. And of course Bill is great here, I think she got translated greatly to the Page. Sadly, that’s kinda what I have to say positively. 12 feels fairly like your generic Doctor and could be replaced by any of them, not much would change, besides having to change the Companion. How this Story uses both Fenric and the Flood is underwhelming at best, especially the former feels like an afterthought, which makes me question why they threw in so many Players into the mix. The Art is at least fairly solid, but not one I am too interested in revisiting.
The Great Shopping Bill: A great Idea, done a bit in a boring way. I like a simple Story, that can delve into something more slice of life but in a Sci-Fi Concept and I particularly enjoyed the first couple of Pages, after that I think it goes down, but really is just fine. The Art is not that appealing to me, but I can see what they were going for.
Overall, this Collection wasn’t really for me, glad most enjoyed it more than me tho!
