This is a book that is based on the television series. It features the Tenth Doctor and Martha. In this one, they land on a deserted prison ship but soon find out there is more to it than that.I was immediately sucked into this book as the deserted ship's setting came off as a space horror genre story and I was all in. Then, the book took a left turn and delved into a "village in a forest" that evoked more of a fantasy vibe as we have monsters and the children disappearing. This part really didn't do it for me as I was teased with the opening genre. I will admit the explanation at the end works and did save the book in my opinion. I actually loved the finale and the message. What happens when a sentient being is bombarded with evil and is concepts like love and bravery enough to over come it? As for the portrayal of the main characters I though The Doctor was fine. Martha never really stood out. I did like the minor characters even though some of them fell into a common trope.This book was a decent read. It is set up as a mystery and for me, the mystery didn't totally grab me. The payoff did. It is one of those books that you have to stick with until the very end to get a satisfying result. The journey to get there is a little rough though.
