Review: Perfectly in Character!

Honestly, being perfectly in character is a lot harder to achieve than it looks, since I've read scores of Doctor Who adventures from the 7th Doctor New Adventures, to the BBC past Doctor and 8th Doctor stories, to the Virgin past Doctor books, and very few of them can achieve getting all the characters to sound like the original characters from the series (usually they only manage to achieve one or 3 out of four, though once in a while they manage to nail all the characters). I could easily picture Peri and the Doctor both speaking all the lines from this story.  And the story flowed easily without being overly technical (quite a few of the previous books I've read seem like they use techical as filler and just have fun rattling off details, while I'm usually just waiting for them to get on with the story), though getting used to it being in first person was a bit of a challenge. I even loved the Rani (but of course I would since she's one of my very favorite villains). Yes, I shall be recommending this to my fellow Whovians.
