Review of The Slitheen Excursion by whitestar1993
19 August 2024
Oh, where to start...
That was probably the worst book to start off in my Doctor Who reading journey. Without spoiling anything, it just felt, too silly and out there. I know that's a hallmark of Who, but this took it to a bit of an extreme. The writing style was a bit to simplistic for me as well.
I did appreciate the research that went into the book, as well as spending some more time with the tenth doctor, (even if he felt slightly out of character.)
The companion, June, was at times interesting and at others annoying/poorly written.
2 stars for me, would only recommend if you want to finish all the books, or like the Slitheen.
Up next, either Engines of War or another book on my TBR list!
Chronological placement:
Between Series 4 and the specials
