Shaun Collins (3 KP) rated Doctor Who: The Justice of Jalxar in Books

Jan 12, 2018

Nice solid story with a lot of fun elements. The Doctor and Romana stop off in Victorian England and meet up with... Jago and Lightfoot, which EVERY Who story could use more of. The characterizations are wonderful and just as you remember, without all the prejudicial and racist overtones of Talons. The story may not be more than just standard adventure fare (alien tech falls to earth, gets misused) but a Judge Dredd style robot exercising justice based on how guilty you feel is a neat idea.

The Past Catches Up With Us All

Return to Arkane's Dishonored universe and play either as an older Emily, who grown up into a killer assassin, or as her father Corvo, now older and more weather beaten. The gameplay is similar to the first game, but new powers and abilities have been added to the player's arsenal. The story expands out of Dunwall and into Victorian Europe, where certain targets must be brought down for Emily to retake her rightful place on the throne.

An interesting but not easy read

As a lover of Victorian literature, I wanted to delve in to what the Russians were writing at the time, and where better to start than with the hugely loved Dostoyevsky. This novel is incredibly long, seconded only by Crime and Punishment. Yet not much really happens to do with the plot. This novel is more about characters and their development, as well as exploring big themes such as religion, crime, justice and family. It's an interesting read, but definitely not one to read before bedtime to relax!
