redfiona99This was good.
The thing I liked most was how well done the non-Torchwood characters were, because I worried about Mr. Dine and Shiznay and Davey Morgan. It's interesting and moves along at a fair click. Definitely recommended.
What's interesting is how the two stories differ, despite both being cuckoo in the nest stories. Because in Adam, Adam and what he does are clearly bad things (giving Ianto the memories of murdering someone is a stroke of evil genius), while James in this is innocent, utterly innocent, and yet, he does (or has done to him) what Adam did.
The section where Gwen forgets James is just brilliantly done because of all the little changes that happen in the train carriage. And then the ending, where she says she's not sure what's worse, remembering him or not, and whether or not this has happened before, because they wouldn't remember it if it had, that bit is wonderful too.
It's also interesting that Owen becomes a lot less abrasive when there's another man in the team, and I don't know if that's because he's the only one who doesn't necessarily like Jack or love him or whatever strange and Ianto-ian feelings Ianto has, and that bit of his character gets spread around more, and makes him less, well, less Owen on a bad time.
I'm not sure if it's just me, or is this a bit thicker and with smaller print that some of the other Torchwood books?
