I enjoyed River. The story is very chaotic and becomes easily confusing the more you read. Combining River’s story with an Agatha Christie-esque mystery that leaves you wanting and confused at what’s going on. I love River in Doctor Who but here, she felt empty. She didn’t feel like River from the show. Maybe I would feel different about it if I listened to the audiobook but in print, it’s lacking. Not bad for a first book and written by the actress that originated her. It was okay. If you’re into Doctor Who books and River Song, go ahead but it might be a drag. And Honestly, I didn’t really like Melody Malone, here sections were the hardest to read through to me. Whether you liked the story or not, you’re in for a ride nonetheless.
