The Diary of River Song: Series 5 by Roy Gill, Eddie Robson, Scott Handcock, Jonathan Morris
2.0
The first and second story were awesome! Missy and the oldest Master have amazing chemistry with River!
Especially the banter with Missy was hilarious.
The third story was felt kinda off. It was a new concept and the idea of being able to be adrift in the time vortex is interesting but the whole master storyline felt forced and Allison being the kid of the monster and being modelled after a character from a movie was lazy writing in my eyes.
The last story was my least favourite. The War Master felt very forced and stranger than usually. He is a osychopathic murderer but still the story felt forced. The all women crew was stereotypical and the solution was lazy again.
All in all this bösartig started strong and grew weaker with every story. Maybe if Missy has been the last story, the others would’ve shined more.
Still love me River though and cannot wait to listen to the newest boxset^^
