Finished reading A Desolation Called Peace
book
Rated Fiennders Keepers 8/10
I waffled a bit between three stars or four because there are too many damn characters to keep track of and sometimes the writing is bogged down in superfluous detail, but I kinda get that was part of the point -- that our histories are complex, and the English class system could really muck things up for people.<br><br>You can tell this is a first novel -- though it was released as Jean Marsh's second, she wrote this one first. Big ambition, sometimes shaky in execution. Still liked it, but would recommend her other two books first.
Finished reading The Void Ascendant
Rated Torchwood: The Crown 10/10
<div>I very much enjoy the Queen Victoria installments of Torchwood. This is a good spooky Christmas Eve story.</div>
Finished reading Terror at Tierra de Cobre
Rated Finbar's Hotel 8/10
Ah, collective loneliness and anxiety about life. Enjoyed this. Worth returning it late to the library.
Rated Gallifrey: Echoes Through Eternity 8/10
<div>Very much enjoyed this series of short trips for the 20th Anniversary of the Gallifrey series at Big Finish. It really is one of their best spin-offs. I haven't heard all the Time War sets, but all the ones previous are among my faves.</div>

Rated Filthy Animals 8/10
<div>I liked this a lot, though I admit to some discomfort with some of the violence. And that feels sort of intentional, theme-wise, which is fine. Ymmv</div>
