Beneath the Viscoid - Already Talked about before

The Good Master - 3 Stars
A bit meh and the low point of the this collection but it builds on more things that come later on.

The Sky Man - 5 Stars
Without going into too much, heart breaking but also really well done in terms of any Doctor Who story.

The Heavenly Paradigm - 4.5 Stars
An excellent ending to the 1st collection that not also ties the four tales up, but also sets up The Master as we see him in the Russell T Davies era.

Overall a great collection of stories that shines due to the performance of Derek Jacobi's Master. While may of barely been in the show, this certainly proves to me he is a truly great Master. Also give props to the Master's companion, Cole played by Jonny Green. Cant wait to see follow more tales from the grim and cruel adventures of the War Master

A gut-punch, heart-renching great time. Perhaps, the best set of Time War related material. Episode three is the standout, just a tremendous time.

Derek Jacobi (unsurprisingly) is amazing as the War Master. I really wish we could have seen more of him on the screen, but this is the next best thing.

A fantastic start to the War Master. A really great overarching plot and good episodes in between.

I am so pleased to have finally gotten to this. Derek Jacobi brings both gravitas and menace to the Master, and the stories here are really good. Excited to carry on with more of the series.
