redfiona99Set during the long night before Amy's Wedding, this is an Eleventh Doctor and Amy story, where they encounter interesting aliens and humans.
There was a lot I liked about this book; the Sittun, the gyre, the background to the story, but I felt that a couple of the characters were too obviously just there to be killed off horribly, and a few of the allegories were a little too heavy-handed (and if the person who still doesn't see the Aslan = Jesus thing thinks your metaphors are heavy-handed, they are sledgehammer heavy).
Enjoyable but not essential.
The Forgotten Army by Brian Minchin
The Runaway Train by Oli Smith
Consequences by Joseph Lidster
Only Human by Gareth Roberts
Doctor Who: Official Guide on How to be a Time Lord by Craig Donaghy
Hunters of the Burning Stone by Martin Geraghty
And I've read one of them. I also suspect I may have one of the others.
