Doctor Who: The Sontaran Games - 2/5
Sontarans do a killer Olmypics. It's a fun concept and its a, like the rest of these Quick Reads, surprisingly brutal read but it never really amounted to all that much. I do like the idea of the Sontarans using sports to test human capability and it all feels very Sontaran but it doesn't really go anywhere that interesting, although of all the Doctor's recurring monsters the Sontarans are one of my least favourites so that definitely doesn't help. I also felt the characterisation of 10 felt weird, even if it still felt more 10 than any other Doctor, and I really did feel the lack of a companion (sadly no Quick Reads featuring Donna). Overall? Fine. Only got one more Quick Read with 10 before we get to some stories with 11.
