wisemetis | 10 weitere Rezensionen | Dec 26, 2022 | I am definitely a Doctor Who fan. Amy, Rory and River are my favorite of the companions. I was so excited to start this book. It is a collection of 3 short stories. The first two are supposed to be written by Amy and River respectively. The last one one is set in Victorian London and features Madame Vastra, Jenny and Strax (from the show). But there is also a fourth story. It is in the prologue and in the notes afterwards. It is more information about Amy, and her life with Rory after the Angels take them back. It is well worth the read.
This books evoked all the feelings from the 11th Doctor's series. The Angel's Kiss by Melody Malone was super fun and really felt like it was written by River. Summer Falls was an interesting mystery that would be at home as a Doctor Who episode. Devil in the Smoke was a great Madame Vastra adventure. She really needs her own stand alone movie or something.
I definitely recommend this to all Doctor Who fans. Even if you have never watched Doctor Who, this is still a good fantasy/sci fi collection. I thought it was wonderful.… (mehr)

readingover50 | 4 weitere Rezensionen | Jun 11, 2019 | I've read a lot of good DW fiction, and this book made my job of defending the good stuff a good deal harder.
This book should be 1 star - but I'm geek enough to be delighted by new material from characters we may not be seeing again. These were pretty clearly slapped together efforts to sell rejected plots. The stories were flat out awful. The whole dynamic of angels is messed over yet again.
If you truly enjoyed these books - stop everything and dive into the New Adventures, Missing Adventures, Past Doctor Adventures, Eighth Doctor Adventures, etc. there are hundreds of stories that leave these in the dust.… (mehr)

Ron18 | 4 weitere Rezensionen | Feb 17, 2019 | Read this review, and many more on my blog October Tune!
Those that watch Doctor Who will probably recognize this as the book Artie (one of the kids Clara was looking after) was reading, in the Bells of Saint John. Written by Amelia Williams, the Eleventh Doctor's companion. I was excited when I found out they actually released this story!
Summer Falls is about Kate, who wants do 'Get Something Done' in the last week before school starts. She becomes friends with her strange neighbours, a man who calls himself the Curator (which is obviously the Doctor), his cat, and a boy named Armand, whose father 'kills people'. Then, she finds a mysterious painting, and a ring, and then suddenly, it's winter, in September!
It's a very short story, only about 60 pages long, but I enjoyed it a lot. When I was on chapter nine, I remembered that in the episode Clara told Artie that 'Chapter eleven's the best, you'll cry your eyes out', so I was a tiny bit scared of what was going to happen. And indeed, the things that happened in the (small) chapter were sad (though I didn't exactly cry my eyes out, haha).
The story reminded me of a mixture of Coraline, the Doctor, the Widow and the Wardrobe, and the Snowmen (the last two are Doctor Who Christmas specials), because of the cat who could suddenly talk in the winter world (Coraline), the winter world itself (Doctor, Widow, Wardrobe) and the Lord of Winter (the ice governess from the Snowmen). But that didn't make it a lesser story, in fact, I enjoyed it even more!
Because I don't know what to say about this short story anymore, here's two of my favourite quotes from it:
"Magic?" Kate snorted. "There is no such thing? Is there?" "Magic?" Barnabas (the Curator) shrugged. "Why not? Magic is cool!"
"[...] But a smell hung in the air. The smell of earth after rain. She sniffed, and somehow, oddly, she knew that she would never see the mysterious Barnabas ever again."
A nice short story, by one of my favourite companions (of course it wasn't really written by her, but shhh!)… (mehr)

This was quick and fun, and I enjoyed pretending to read this with Amy's voice in my head. As with most DW novellas - too short!
