I really loved this Doctor Who book. Partly because it really used the subject of time travel.
It started out very similarly to a lot of Doctor Who books. Small English town in the past, strange happenings in the woods. Thankfully, no mind control.
I loved how they wondered about in the fractured forest. It was both confusing and fascinating. It's hard to talk about it without spoiling it.

Overall, it's a complex story, and very exciting. One of the best Doctor Who stories I've encountered, so I recommend it a lot to even those who don't want to read every book.
