Shroud of Sorrow by Tommy Donbavand
4.0
This book, while not nearly as exciting as the TV episodes, was really interesting to read. At some points I read the Doctor's dialogue in the exact same way that Matt Smith would have said it. The book also referenced episodes from the TV series, including Angels Take Manhattan *sob*. The writing wasn't amazing, but I was still able to read through it.
Tommy Donbavand got the Doctor's and Clara's personalities perfect some of the time, but other times, I wasn't so sure. It wasn't the kind of writing that had be hooked the entire time, but it certainly wasn't terrible.
Shroud of Sorrow takes place the day after the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. People in Dallas, TX have started to see the faces of their late loved ones in raindrops, coffee stains, and pretty much everywhere else you could imagine. We learn that these faces are called the Shroud and they feed off a person's negative memories, absorbing them in guilt. It's up to the Doctor, Clara, and their friends to get to the bottom of what the Shroud is trying to do and bring them to a stop before they absorb the world in grief.
