But where is the Agent and why did it come here?
My Thoughts
I was really looking forward to this one as the author wrote my favourite Torchwood novel. I was left feeling disappointed though. This book didn't grip me and it took day s to read it, quite a feat considering it's only 128 pages long. The pace was okay, I just didn't like the plot or the way it was executed.
The characters were okay, I didn't really like any of the ones that were created specifically for this story. The Doctor and Gisella weren't too good either. I also missed the tension of the Darksmith Agent chasing them. He only appeared in the last few pages.
Overall I wasn't happy with this book at all, but that's my own fault for over hyping it in my head. I was also annoyed at the High School Musical reference. I don't think HSM and Doctor Who have the same target audience.
My Rating
3 stars - Fo rme this is the weakest in the series so far. I didn't really enjoy it and it did n't contain much excitement. I just hope that the next book's better.
