A review by mischel
Shroud of Sorrow by Tommy Donbavand

3.0

Well, what to say... I liked the book, but it wasn't the best and not exactly what I expected. Everything happened almost too fast and although it sort of made sense, this would probably be one of those average episodes of the show - sort of good, but not the best. The Doctor was brilliant and it was very easy to picture him and everything he said and did was exactly what 11 would say and do, but sometimes he was a bit too silly. Clara was brilliant as well and I loved the planet they were just leaving at the beginning of the book (and maybe I'd rather like to read that story instead). The ending was quick as well, but I didn't dislike it.
Another reason this book seemed so weird to me might be the fact that after four years, this was the first book I read in my first language and although our Doctor Who fanclub worked with the translators, some of the common Doctor Who expressions were a bit weird.
The book was not bad, but I give it 3/5 stars.
