The Fifteenth Doctor #22

'Spectral Scream' (2025) from BBC New Series Adventures.

I like how this is sort of an extension of the First Doctor story The Arboreals, with a crashed spacecraft adapting to their environment in a unique way. Quite a lot of good stuff going on in this novel concept-wise, and the side characters are fun for the most part, beside the bounty hunters I think as they overstuff it all a bit too much for me. Belinda is okay here, gives her a bit more screentime essentially, but I don't really feel anything for her character. She lacks a lot of what Ruby has I feel like and it's frustrating that she's just been poorly treated.
