Finally! A new series that actu­ally has a little body to it. I was hon­estly start­ing to lose hope in the new adven­tures. The Last Dodo puts a little bit of that dark­ness, that deep reflec­tion of the Doc­tors that has been until now has been sorely lack­ing from the new books. Though there is only a small moment of it (part of which is quoted in this review) it demon­strates what I’ve been talk­ing about over he past couple books. I know that the authors were prob­a­bly told that they need to ease into it all, what with trying to nail such a wide demo­graphic and so many new read­ers, but have a little com­pas­sion for those who’ve stuck with the series all these years.
