Not just one of my favorite Doctor Who novels, but also just one of my favorite novels period. Blum and Orman really knocked it out of the park... again! This is the book that really made me love Sam as a character. She's so well written and Blum and Orman added so many details to her that made her feel so real and human. I love her arc in this!!! I love The Doctor's side of the story in this just as much... it's a bit of a theme, it seems, that books written by Kate Orman involve The Doctor being tortured horrifically, and she does it so, so well. I also enjoyed the world building a LOT. It's rare to see Jewish culture used like this in sci-fi and I really really loved it. Overall 10/10. Kate Orman and Jonathan Blum I owe you my life yet again.
