Today I have been feeling unwell, so I decided on some simple comfort reading, one of the Doctor Who books with 13 and the current team TARDIS.

As I told mum, this one is proper scary, very gory and vivid and in the middle of the kind of historical events the Doctor can do little about. A big battle, and something getting ready to feed on it. Dead men walking and big bitey monsters and an actual murder of crows. Good stuff.

And I liked the Legion of Smoke very much. You know how often the Doctor has visited the Roman empire? Well they have a secret hereditary Legion that has been collecting all the clues she leaves behind. They're kind of a Roman Torchwood and I want to RPG them. Great fun.

Everyone got a smart thing to do, and everyone got captured and threatened and scared too. Splitting them up to show more of the situation can get right complex with four. And there were lots of points of view to visit, some of the briefly before the screaming.

Ryan is dyspraxic more from his own poont of view. ... I phrase that awkward. But like with a book that is in his head a lot it's clear that even when he's doing things successfully he has to think about them extra and be more careful. Also there's a bunch of trip and fall times, because trying harder still doesn't fix things. Is good, I think.

Lots of interesting people, a grand setting, and a big ending.

I liked it.
