Billy's Reviews > Doctor Who: The Curse of Fenric

The last in the 'Ace Trilogy' I set myself to read, in anticipation of finally finding out exactly what happened to Ace (in the novels), something I never got around to doing in my adolescence. 'Curse', an action-packed, very bleak and very adult tale for Who, critically features Ace's transition from childhood to adulthood, as she finally understands the overwhelming feelings that have driven her hatred for her mother, and is able to synchronize them. However, the events are a harbinger of difficult times to come aboard the TARDIS, as the Doctor reveals his complicity in her manipulation from the moment she set foot in his ship.
