Don't know where to post as there are so many threads, but this is at the top at the moment.
First review I could find and it's very positive. It's in the new SFX, but you can read it in the preview of the magazine. I don't know how much it spoils, but the star rating is 4 out of 5.

SFX October 2017 Issue 291 | My Favourite Magazines

They're generally positive minded with reviews though. They mostly only give negative reviews when something is actually very bad, and are fairly optimistic about the rest.

Click on Look Inside. The second page turn gives info more so than a review but it's interesting.

The first page turn is about the new Doctor Who :)
Thanks. I didn't see that link.
Of course now that I've done that the type is so small I can't read it. And my desktop computer won't allow me to enlarge it. Oh well.

You can zoom in on it. The type is quite small in the actual magazine too

How is this suddenly a Star Trek thread, by the way?

Oh wait, the moderator just looked at the cover probably and thought I was referring to that, not the review of It inside.

That's what your link took me to and you said that you didn't know if that was the place for your post when it was in the IT thread so misunderstood what you were referring to.

Having not read this magazine before, I'm not sure howmuch I trust the review, but who the heck cares? I'm so jazzed about It that I'll take any positive review as Gospel.

You can basically trust it. It is a magazine done by genre enthusiasts, so a review is generally by someone who is already enthusiastic about the genre, not some austere critic. For me I find that helpful, as I'm a genre enthusiast too, so I know how they think and they know what they talk about. They're definitely critical too when something is not good.
