Shannon Appelcline's Reviews > Doctor Who: Eternity Weeps

A well-written, tense book that has great insights into Jason's character (and somewhat less into Benny's, mainly because we know her too well). It was an enjoyable and quick read.

With that said, it also has some major flaws.

First, the book is very much not in the service of the Doctor Who series. It's clearly a test run and set-up for the Benny-led New Adventures series, and the abrupt changes in Benny and Jason's status that are also leading up to that are a bit anticlimatic given the content of book #50.

Second, Mortimore is so bloody-minded that it gets old.

Third, a lot of the plot twists come out of nowhere and are glossed in a sentence or two. We're on an archaeological dig, and then two sentences later an alien plague is destroying the Earth. It required careful reading and rereading in a few cases to understand the abrupt twists.

Still, an enjoyable read.
