I see this topic randomly became active again 
. Since opening the topic I took a break from my normal reading at some point last year to give Eye of the Tyger a read as it was short; I think I had high expectations for something interesting given the author, and the opening was interesting enough, but I felt it just became fairly standard for the genre. So I’m hoping a couple of the others will be more on the interesting side.

Yeah… i expected a bit more from Eye of the Tyger, but honestly it was just okay. Going by the others I have read I think those are much more interesting, if you are interested in a more Susan-centric Story Time and Relative is a good Call. Similarly I liked Shellshock, nothing groundbreaking but it’s a quick nice read.

i started reading these recently, Time and Relative did set my expectations quite high because i love Susan, but none of them have been particularly disappointing - I’m quite enjoying them, slightly more than i thought i would if i’m being honest. i do wish there were more doctor who stories set in 1963 shoreditch though, i really liked that idea

Read a few more of them in recent Time! I must admit, both were very much on the weaker Side. ‘Nightdreamers’ has fascinating Ideas, all of which I enjoy, but it does stumble on its Execution and just becomes a bit unremarkable really, which is a shame honestly.
On the other Side, ‘Citadel of Dreams’ didn’t leave much of an Impact on me. I don’t dislike or anything, it just didn’t make any kind of Impression on me and I don’t think the Plot really stuck with me.
Hopefully the next few of this Range do more for me!

Well, if your tastes run similar to mine, you should enjoy some of the others more than those two.

it’s funny to me how much darker and / or disturbing they can get compared to the show, i haven’t read a lot of other dw books but the first novella i read (time and relative) especially is a lot more graphic than i thought it would be. still, i kept reading them (i just finished my ninth one, cabinet of light) so they are doing something right XD

Being more graphic/dark/disturbing (in places) is much more typical for Wilderness Stories, keep that in mind whenever you read something from that Time Period!!
Glad that you have been enjoying the Ride of the Novellas so far tho!
