The Blood Cell by James GossMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was a quick and an okay read. It was action-y like the show, but it was told by the point of view of the Governor who ran the Prison. He tells us how he runs the place with Bentley and how everyone was his friend. But when he meets the Twelfth Doctor, he gets so annoyed with him escaping and has tried to make a deal with him, keeping him in his cell. But when the killings begin, that’s when he has no choice but to deal with the Doctor as he and Clara help him stop the murder.
I thought it was fine to me, to be honest. I haven’t been watching Doctor Who in a while, and reading this brought me back to the world. But seeing it through the Governor’s eyes kinda annoyed me, because he reduced the Doctor to nothing but a number, which I really didn’t like, and think that ‘oh, he did so many crimes, he’s a bad person’ when in reality, the doctor wants to help people and save them.
The only funny parts that came up in the book was Clara coming by and showing up with signs and stuff, and when she finally got in the jail, she was actually pretty helpful. She was her usual, cheery self, which I liked. But the Blood Cell…eh it wasn’t that scary, to be honest. It was just a cell with a weird Custodian in it, looking for “the perfect specimen” which was just…okay. Cool beans. But I’m glad everyone on level 7 was saved, and wasn’t that surprised that the Governor was a hated man in HomeWorld.
