Doctor Who: Dead of Winter by James Goss

4.0

The only thing that's stopping me from giving this five stars is the way that the story is told. Through perspectives of the Doctor, Amy and Rory as well as Dr. Bloom, Maria and Nevil. Way too many narrators and really could've been done in a completely different way. But it was unique and still got the point across. The story was great. But it seemed like the book could've been a whole lot shorter. There was a lot of nonsense in the book that lead up to the plot being revealed, which in the end was still confusing. I can tell you though I did not see Maria being a Familiar coming. I knew that Kosov and Dr. Blooms 'wife' were, they were easy to tell. But I like how in the end the Doctor made it all better, the Familiar took the form of Maria's mother and they went off traveling. Sweet. The constant reassurances of the Amy/Rory love was really annoying, it's everywhere, but we already knew Rory is the most important man in her life. And really? Even in the books I have to deal with Rory dying? I thought I could get away from Moffatisms in the books but apparently not.
