Big Finish, Companion Chronicles
Though I initially liked this story a lot more than The Memory Cheats, I didn’t love it nearly so much on a second listen to review it. This story makes the framing story much more important, with Jen’s questions and Zoe’s answers being more and more the major narrative. I could see Big Finish continuing this sequence indefinitely as the things Zoe could remember certainly won’t allow “The Company” to release her. The relationship can develop in many ways so it’ll be interesting to see how it develops and how strong the stories are in relation to the framing storyline. Almost gave this a 3 jelloid rating but it is better than The Memory Cheats so it got a four.
