" More ambitious than your average New Who book, Wooden Heart delivers a mind-bending premise that does its best to keep you guessing. Adjoa Andoh is a fun, engaging reader -- I would really like to hear her do another one or several of these. Every character is treated with a deft hand - from the Doctor and Martha to the various villagers. Plus, the book gets an extra star for referring to the Doctor as a trickster god -- in a surprisingly rich and textured scene. As is the case with all the New Who books I've read, I yearn for more meaningful character exploration. Regardless, Wooden Heart is clever and satisfying. "
