Better than the previous installment. Perhaps knowing the magic of the first book is lost allowed me to just enjoy it as a set of various tales from the café.

This second sequel to "Before the coffee gets cold" does not reach the heights of the original. It still fails to capture that special feeling. It manages it at some points.

It feels at times as a string of sentences that sound profound, but are empty.

Not one of the better Doctor Who books. Alright. But it feels rather unimportant and redundant.
