3.5⭐️
This was a fun set of stories written by some well-known authors, each following a different Doctor, set in different parts of time and space. Each is quite short and contained and while I'm not sure any of them are particularly mind-blowing, or even especially memorable, I had fun reading them and it was a nice little collection for a Doctor Who nerd.
The stories not only take place over a variety of time periods and settings, but many of them also include iconic villains like the Daleks, the Master, and the Rani, which was cool to see. The authors also managed to capture each Doctor's personality well in the short page time that they had.
Unsurprisingly, some of my favourites were the ones written by my favourite authors; Patrick Ness' story about the fifth Doctor and Neil Gaiman's about the eleventh among them. Some others that I enjoyed, by authors I've never read from before, were the eighth (Alex Scarrow), tenth (Derek Landy), and the thirteenth (Naomi Alderman).
I probably won't reread this collection, but I had fun making my way through it.
