Castle Extremis

Synopsis

Castle Extremis - whoever holds it can control the provinces either side that have been at war for centuries. Now the castle is about to play host to the signing of a peace treaty. But as the Doctor and Martha find out, not everyone wants the war to end.

Who is the strange little girl who haunts the castle? What is the secret of the book the Doctor finds, its pages made from thin, brittle glass? Who is the hooded figure that watches from the shadows? And what is the secret of the legendary Mortal Mirror?

The Doctor and Martha don't have long to find the answers - an army is on the march, and the castle will soon be under siege once more.

I loved this book! The banter between ten and Martha is really fun, and I thought the author did a great with their characterization. There were a lot of little lines in this book, both between Martha and the Doctor and just in general, that made me smile. The first few chapters I thought it was going to be a fairly paint by numbers mystery that I’d have to sit through just for the sake of watching the Doctor and Martha interact with it, but it started to change and pick up speed. I genuinely found it really fun. This story probably wouldn’t have worked for TV, since a lot of it is just moving around one location, but it’s phenomenal as a book. An overall solid and fun ten and Martha adventure!
