Like many Target novelizations I haven't seen the corresponding episodes. So I'm not sure what this would be like on screen. However this is a great short novel and does everything it needs to in a slim package. Some elaboration in a few places would have been really nice however I thought it was a fun story as it stands. Special shoutout to the Romana regeneration scene at the beginning for being quite hilarious.

Actual rating 3.75

This was another solid novelization of a classic Who episode. This just happens to be one of my favorite episodes from Doctor Who so I obviously enjoyed it. The only reason I didn't rate this higher is because, it is a novelization which means that the dialogue and action can feel a bit stilted at times but overall I had so much fun reading this.
