![The Worst Doctor Who Novels? [VNA vs EDA Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/8tAnxnTgW8I/mqdefault.jpg)
I hope in a year or two, we gettin' a video about faction paradox and their involvement and story across the books.
This sounds like so much fun 😁
This, along with Eight Doctors is probably the book that has stuck most in my memory from when I started reading these 18 years ago.
sry i’m confused, who bodied the alien??
You are actually reading THOSE novels?
Heck Yeah!
This is one of my favourite novels of all time, and a massive inspiration to me. Really great summary, you've captured everything I love about it (wxcept for the Krotons. I love the Krotons).
btw, did you and @ Vacuum see that the FP website has a mailbag now?
@@najawin8348 - what's a mailbag?
@@nightowl8477 People are sending them questions and they're answering them.
Fucking loved the Krotons
Finally, the one I've been waiting for! Glad to hear you enjoyed it and that you plan exploring more FP stuff in the future. Also if you're concerned about some of the choices in relation to the Faction's beliefs, don't worry, they get retooled by their next appearance in Interference and then get retooled even more by the time they get their own series.
As for FP recommendations, I'd say the best place to start off would be with Dead Romance, which is one of the VNAs printed near the end of the line when they didn't have the Who licence anymore. It doesn't really tie in with the NAs that much, plus it was revised and reprinted as part of the Faction Paradox book line, which is the more readily available (and complete) version. It also sets up a few things for Miles' next EDA, and it's also generally regarded as his best book.
Then, check out Book of the War, the guidebook to the war written by many many authors and edited by Miles himself. Physical copies of that one are very sought after, so I'd definitely recommend a digital version instead, unless you feel like making an irresponsible purchase like I did, lmao.
As for the FP novels (Dead Romance being part of the original line but lacking the Faction branding,) I've only read the first three, but they're all terrific. They're all self-contained, so don't worry about the order you read them in. I would hold off on reading "This Town Will Never Let Us Go" as it's Miles' final novel and it really builds off everything that came before in a way that you'll definitely appreciate more once you've read a few more of his books. "Of the City of the Saved" is a fan favourite, although slightly overrated imo, it's still very cool. But for my money, "Warlords of Utopia" is the way to go. Pulpy, thrilling, fast-paced and darkly comedic, it's the entire package. This one's also a spiritual sequel to Dead Romance, so I'd recommend reading that first.
Whatever you choose, welcome into the world of FP, enjoy the subsequent brainrot you'll experience as a result lmaooooooo.
NOOOOO. I must have The Book of the War physically. It's like hunting for Leitner books.
@@nightowl8477 keep hunting, boss, you'll get it one day.
He's been trying to find _Warlords,_ but it's out of print and copies are going for insane prices atm because of this. _Warring States_ is a taoist yuri parable, decent enough. _Erasing Sherlock_ is just smut with a thin coating of DWU over it. (And the ebook you can get at reasonable prices doesn't even have that.)
I'm trying to make my way through Newtons Sleep, but I've lost a lot of motivation for, well, other reasons.
TBotE and Boulevard1 are both anthologies, so, you know, mixed back. Some stuff in them is utterly brilliant, some is pretty mid.
@@najawin8348 yeah, those anthologies are odd. Book of the Enemy is a real mixed bag imo, mostly because they put all the best stories up top. The first six stories are all really good, and then the book just sort of peters out.
@@simonchabot390 Oh, no, completely wrong. _First Draft, No Enemy but Despair, The Enemy of my Enemy is my Enemy,_ and _Map and the Spiders_ are all fantastic and are past that six.
Hope you'll have a good day

I'd like to say that I loved this book, but that would be a lie.
I'm really not what you'd call _sophisticated_ when it comes to Doctor Who, and this book really made me realise that. It's excellent at crafting an atmosphere, it's beautifully written and it's got so many incredible ideas - but it also has more characters than it knows what to do with and not much actual plot.
I think that so much of Miles's work has a nasty air of ego to it. A lot of it reads like he has no actual interest in the shared universe that he's writing in and wants to revolutionise it, by himself.
I think writers should be allowed to do that. That's surely the point; Doctor Who is an infinitely adaptable idea, so vague and broad that writers can use its name as a launchpad to their own mythologies.
Everything being organised, conected, and linear (in that everything now is a direct response to something that came before) is a Revival Era change - uncoincidentally when the show started to be ran by fans (not a bad thing, it just has one or two drawbacks). I.e., brand new character Osgood who relates directly and entirely to 2010s Doctor Who fanbase...is an ancestor of a one-time 70s UNIT scientist. Idea nepotism.
The 90s really capitalised on the former approach to Who moreso than any other before or since, and Lawrence is arguably the best at that.
I think you missed a trick here. Shouldn't Parody Ben be the Shift in this video, subtly changing it to drive the viewer to madness?
Who do you think compelled you to type this?
@@thevacuumofcomments2946 ....He's even more powerful than I thought.
@@thevacuumofcomments2946 I'm truly in awe.
New Who is never done with you!
Does this review contain spoilers ?

@@thevacuumofcomments2946 thank you!!
This book is so good. Though the Voodoo thing isn’t the only way it’s racist, unfortunateky
Yeah, Manjuele is... a lot
