As soon as I saw this collection I was deeply curious and excited because it couldn't come at a better time. Waiting for the Christmas special is difficult and I am always wanting more Doctor Who!Based on the introduction included you immediately know this book was written on Gallifrey for other Time Lord's learning and enjoyment. I believe a better title for this book was directly mentioned here: Time Lords Myths and Legends. Our beloved Doctor does pop in and help in his own style (depending o...

Having read multiple Doctor Who anthologies, I have to admit this was my least favorite so far. In theory, the combination of mythological stories and one of my favorite fandoms sounds quite perfect, but I found the execution to be somewhat lacking. While I did love some of the twists and it was really fun to see some familiar characters, that wasn't enough to make the stories very engaging. The writing was the main problem here, I think. It felt a little dry and lacked the sense of humour that

This is a whole collection of myths and legends that are based in Doctor Who world. The myths and legends are the following:The Mondas TouchThe Terrible ManussaThe Unwanted Gift of ProphecyThe Evil And The Deep Black SkyJorus And The VoganautsThe Vardon HorseDefiance Of The New BloodsThe Kingdom Of The BlindThe Labyrinthine WebThe Angels Of VengeanceThe Jeopardy Of Solar ProximityThe Multi-Faceted WarThe Enigma of SisterhoodPandoric’s BoxThis is the first Doctor Who book I have read. I found it

Any time I get a chance to read something from Doctor Who, I go for it. I was especially pleased by this selection as I'm always pleased by different mythologies being well-incorporated. The only downside for me was that it felt a bit jilted a at times instead of cohesive and some of the endings felt too abrupt to me. I couldn't, in good consciousness, give it a 4-star rating but I'd definitely give it a 3.5 if I could give half stars. I think if you're a fan of the series, current or past, you'...

I had to DNF this book. I just couldn't get into it

I thought that this book was really quite amazing. The problem I often have with books from the Doctor Who universe is that they seem very superficial and are often just missing the spark for me to really love them, even if I always appreciate new content from the DW universe. However, with this book, I was completely captivated the whole time. I thought the writing was at all times really engaging and the stories were super interesting and the illustrations just improved the reading experience....

If you're looking for an analysis of how these myths and legends fit into the core Doctor Who world/fandom or something like that, you're looking in the wrong place. If you want a review of how much you'd like this collection of short stories even if you're not a hardcore fan, I guess that's where this review would fit. (Note: I have watched some Doctor Who as my siblings are fans, but I'm generally too lazy to follow a TV series. Don't kill me.)Doctor Who: Myths and Legends is a collection of s...

Review up soon on my blog:Http://www.booksrfab.blogspot.com***I received this copy via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.***I must be honest, I have never watched Doctor Who. However, my sister is a huge fan and I mainly signed up for this copy in order to share the Doctor Who world with my sister just for a bit. I can honestly say I didn't go into this book with very high hopes, mainly because I have never been a big fan of sci-fi books. But I can say this book was a pleasant surprise....

"No need for alarm. Or guards for that matter, I don't really like guards. They're always locking me up. And I'm always escaping."I've had the opportunity to read one other Doctor Who collection, the American Adventures. I really enjoyed that one. I get that these stories are simple in their writing, but I think that works well in order to offer them to younger, perhaps Middle Grade, readers. In this collection of Myths and Legends, my favorites included The Mondas Touch and The Angels of Vengea...

As a die-hard Whovian, it should come as no surprise that I jumped at the chance to read and review Richard Dinnick‘s latest offering, DOCTOR WHO : MYTHS & LEGENDS Epic Tales From Alien Worlds, when it was made available for request on NetGalley.THOUGHTS:As a long-time lover of Greek Mythology, I was delighted to discover that this anthology was actually a collection of fourteen short stories based on well-known; and much loved; Greek Myths.During his introduction, Chancellor Drakirid; Historian...

I received this courtesy of Smith Publishing and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.I should preface this review by saying that I'm usually not a fan of collections of short stories only because they lack the continuity that I like when I'm reading a novel. I made an exception for this because I LOVE Doctor Who and I really enjoy Greek myths. The concept was fantastic, the execution in terms of the writing style, was not so much to my liking. But that's just me. I had a hard time getting...

This is an entertaining collection of short stories based around existing tales in the onscreen "Doctor Who" universe. Starting from those televised stories, author Richard Dinnick (oddly not given a cover credit at all) mixes in pieces of old myths. Quite frequently he even manages to explain away some puzzling or overlooked detail in the TV story. Enjoy.

A collection of short stories to thrill Doctor Who fans and with any type of collection like this there will be some you love more than others but all have that distinct flavor we come to expect when exploring the universe through the eyes of THE DOCTOR.We get to revisit battle with the much loved Daleks along with a host of enemies from both the Classic Era and New. You’re treated to an intrepid examination of the Timelord history dotted with heroes and Mythical Timelords that will leave you dr...

I'm a huge Whovian as well as a fan of mythology and legends so when I saw Doctor Who: Myths and Legends available on NetGalley I didn't hesitate to request it. Needless to say I was beyond thrilled when I got approved for this title. I'm also really glad that it ended up being as amazing as I hoped it would be. The book contains 14 short stories in the world of Doctor Who that are all retellings of certain mythology and legends that I'm sure everyone is familiar with. Some stories were better t...

This collection of short stories is great for fans of Doctor Who and even for those who are not familiar with the programme. Full of myths and legends, not only from the Time Lords' points of view but also from many of the other aliens and races found in the series. I even found myself rooting for the Sontarans at one point!

This short story collection was good. It didn't amaze me but it was good. It definitely added to my knowledge of the the Lore of Doctor Who however I just wasn't grasped entirely by some of the tales. That is why my rating stands where it does. Though there are some exciting and better tales. Mostly those involving Time Lords.

I received this book via Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review.This is a cute and charming collection of short stories, all set in the Dr. Who universe. Most of them are re-imaginations of Greek Myths and include familiar characters, planets and species. Time Lords and Gallifrey are heavily featured, with appearances from the Daleks, Ice Warriors, Vampires and many more.The stories are written in a simple but fairly descriptive fashion. I was not the biggest fan of the wri...

2.5 StarsFull review to come!

I received a copy through the publisher via Netgalley for review in exchange for an honest review. Thank you very much for the opportunity to read this!Well, I have to say this did not disappoint! Before I go any further, this was an awesome read! The title is a bit misleading, though. It says, "Myths & Legends" in the title, but reads more like factual or historical tales from alien worlds in the Doctor Who universe. That could have been intentional, but it does feel a bit strange that it did n...

This book acts as a series of short stories that I can imagine would be told to the younger generation of Gallifreyans. and frankly I found the concept both intriguing and overall very fun to read.Like with any series of short stories, everyone has favorites, and I definitely found that certain myths were written in a more pleasing manner than others. However I will admit this book didn't fully reach my expectations, this is because it took me a while to become involved in each story and because...
