Doctor Who: The Legends of River Song by Steve Lyons, Jenny T. Colgan, Jacqueline Rayner, Andy Lane, Guy Adams
4.0
Picnic at Asgard by Jenny T. Colgan: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
It sort of felt like River was with Nine, even though we never saw them together so I'm unsure if they're supposed to have met? Was a little odd. I can't imagine Rose & River being a thing at the same time. It certainly wasn't a very Ten or Eleven-y type Doctor. Definitely not Twelve.
Suspicious Minds by Jacqueline Rayner: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was really enjoying it and then it ended!!! Definitely wish this one had been longer; or maybe just better paced? A long intro but a rushed ending. Was also amusing for me as I just rewatched "Rose".
A Gamble with Time by Steve Lyons: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wonderful. Funny and original and suited the short story theme of the tales told in the book. It was well paced and all fit together really well, Eleven and River were both represented perfectly which was fab. Good job Steve.
Death in New Venice by Guy Adams: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love love loved it. Finally one without the Doctor! River was portrayed wonderfully and the story was really original too. Enjoyed it from the first page and smiled the whole way through.
River of Time by Andrew Lane: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Again I really enjoyed this one, as like the last the Doctor wasn't in it and it was more based on River's life rather than her relationship with the Doctor. The story was fun, but like Suspicious Minds the ending was a little rushed and spoiled the story a little.
Overall this book was fab & was a good way to spend a night of not being able to sleep! I really hope they bring out more of River's diary (I pray that one day she'll get her own spin off show) as reading Who-like stories from her perspective is a lot of fun.
