Doctor Who: Borrowed Time - 4/5
This is really fun! I like how it is essentially just a very thinly veiled (and that's putting in generously) fuck you to banks and to the ultimate villain of our lives, compound interest. Lots of very fun sci-fi concepts too, from the loan sharks to the way that the form of time travel present here is handled, which really enjoyable to read. I'd love to see some of these ideas followed up on, especially the, but as is the nature of Who media I sadly doubt those will ever turn back up.
It also captures the era fairly well, it definitely felt like it would fit snuggly in to the late series 5 to early series 6 era of the Revivial with Eleven, Amy, and Rory. Not my favourite era, but I appreciate that it felt so at home there.
Overall, definitely worth a read if you're looking for a fun Who adventure!
