DW: Martha in the Mirror

Ah, this is more like it! The latest set of books: Martha in the Mirror by Justin Richards.


Diplomatic conference (small one, at least), strange mirror, the Doctor arrives and then there's a death... so what could possibly go wrong? Justin has a plot to tell, and gets on with it. Yeah, there's a young kid, but here she's actually more tied into the plot than other books which just happen to have kids in them. However, the eponymous titular event barely happens, but it does give a neat cover picture.

Most of the twists and turns can be predicted before hand, but there are still a few things that aren't obvious... although the need to tie things up doesn't work well and should really be avoided as much as possible in the future (not that anyone will know what I mean until they read this book).

Character-wise, the characters are pretty simplistic and straightforward, which does mean they are easy to keep track of. The Doctor and Martha are also fairly genetic Doctor and Companion. At the moment, I can't fully remember anyone's name, which should how well written they are, but they can be tracked.

A decent tale, worth picking up.


Order: Reference to Family of Blood, so between that and Utopia.
