Danny Welch's Reviews > Doctor Who: Seeing I

Now, this is a novel I have heard nothing but good things about! However admittedly as much as the cover suits the story I do think it's a case of don't judge a book by its cover, because as much as I heard good things on this story I wasn't exactly attracted to it because of its cover but the synopsis sounded really good and I can trust Kate Orman and Jonathan Blum to write a banger of a story!

And that what it is, a banger of a story! A story that deals with huge character development for Sam as we see her ascend into adult life and a Doctor slowly going mentally unstable as he begins to realize that a prison he is in, is one that he can't escape from! This was a very well-realized story with some disturbing themes with eyes, a prison which not only makes The Doctor feel paranoid but also makes the reader paranoid with tension. There were also some incredible 3-dimensional characters in this which really help drive this story along. The story is a slow burner but it is a very intelligent one at that! The first 2 acts of this are all about character development for Sam and The Doctor being locked in prison after trying to find his friend. The third act which is probably the weakest with it being an alien invasion is still an incredible way to conclude this story!

Overall this is a huge changing point for the 8th Doctor books whilst also concluding the finding Sam arc, I would highly recommend this if you like a delightful but intelligent read! 10/10
