beccaelizabethAnother of the Ianthology by Gareth David Lloyd.
It's a quiet one, focused on ordinary people stuff.
A few new bits about Ianto's childhood but mostly he's being nice and also young. Not confident, not sure how to talk to Jack, realises he's in over his head but not how to start fixing it.
The story covers some of the same ground as Adrift, the impact of the Rift on regular people, but the differences leave it all questions.
The compare contrast is interesting - Adrift couldnt handle the changes, Missing Molly shows people dealing with a lack of change.
Molly being missing twelve years and coming back the same has an odd meta layer.
It feels weird listening to Ianto keep being the same age for over twelve years now. That's pretty highlighted by this one. And it feels not so great when the characters can't move on or grow or anything, but, that's because they're gone.
So, now I'm thinking thoughts and feeling feelings.
I think it's a good story.
