Review of The Boundless Sea by gia0203

25 May 2025

This is my first introduction to Big Finish!

I was so impressed, the voice acting and sound effects are so immersive, I genuinely felt like I was
in the story. The audio format really works for this particular narrative - it was as if I was in the tomb along with the characters.

The best part of this for me is River’s characterisation. She is as brilliant as ever but with that little bit of heart too. I loved that her archeology background was used, I sometimes felt this was a missed opportunity in the show. And the relationship she had with Prim was so beautiful, I cried at the speech she gave to her -I have been in a tomb all my life. I think that the emotional side to River is so impactful here because it’s so rarely seen.

I also thought the dialogue was very witty and it made me laugh out loud more than once. The narrative got a bit slow near the end but the story itself was really engaging. I will definitely be listening to more of these!
