Molten Heart is a new Doctor Who spinoff novel. It reads like a longer ep, with more internal monologue, especially from Yaz. There’s more space for character growth, too. Or, in certain cases, some spot-on character stagnancy, like when Ryan just switches to past tense for Ash’s missing dad, because he’s Ryan and he has gigantic father issues. The characters are so good that I hear their dialogue in the actors’ voices — also can we talk about how this season’s companions are actually very good at taking direction and not needing rescue every 10 minutes? So good.
The author is a creative writing prof at Anglia Ruskin, which makes me want to immediately go sign up for a creative writing PhD (Wait, didn’t I just finish my MFA about 5 minutes ago? Didn’t I just drag myself to the academic finish line?) so I can learn how to do that, too.

Oh! I didn’t even know these existed! I may wait until they are all out though...to avoid the anticipation pain. :)
Molten Heart is a complete story (like a standalone episode in the Doctor Who universe) so you don't need to wait. But the comics are serialized... so I'm waiting for the combined trade to avoid anticipation angst!
Sounds like a good read! I love Doctor Who, but I'm still quite behind. LOL
