I've been reading a number of Doctor Who novels and short stories lately, and all in all I really enjoyed them. This Time Trip short story features the Second Doctor and his companions and I have to admit that I didn't know anything about them.
So it's not possible for me to review the portrayal given in this short story. However, the story I found very interesting and I liked it a lot. It's set in Ancient Alexandria and features the Muses, thus teaching some of the old Greek mythology.
My only problem with it was that it was too short. I would have loved to read this as a longer story, perhaps a full novel.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
