A review by saoki
Doctor Who: The Menagerie by Martin Day

1.0

I couldn't bring myself to finish this actually pretty small book. I could fill you with reasons related to the plot, the characterization and the writing, but the main one is the way the knights go around walking in armor like it's a very convenient thing, permitting full movement, stealth and fine detailed actions. Early in the book there is a scene where a knight picks open a ribbon while wearing gauntlets. It just started gnawing at me and eventually I came across a character walking silently enough to surprise another while in full plate armor and it just ended me.

And then there is that thing with this book series, that when people think the story isn't mature enough they add blood and sex. It's so extra, it becomes boring.
