Torchwood: Almost Perfect by James Goss

3.0

The women in this book are all mean. Even Gwen has mean thoughts about other women, which was out of character. Also, when Ianto has a female body he feels the need to dress in short skirts and heels in spite of the fact that those items of dress are constantly inconvenient for him.

The third act of the book was a whiplash. The entire book sets up one antagonist and then the third act introduces two more who had zero foreshadowing. The new characters were interesting but they came out of nowhere.

There was a fair amount of in-character banter and I always love seeing Rhys have a larger part in a story. I appreciated the way Owen and Tosh were often present in memory in this book.

I read this story very quickly. Even with the sexism I was enjoying it quite a lot up until the third act.
