Reviews

[CJ · Rating 3 out of 5]

Race Memory is an OK story. This is a simple tale that has its ups and downs. The idea presented is interesting, but sadly it is handled in a fairly simple way that means it doesn't live up to its potential. There are some moments where I couldn't follow exactly where people were in relation to others, but that may have been a fault from my end. The acting is solid, with Sarah Sutton redeeming herself compared to her acting in some Big Finish releases.
