As my first proper dive into the Big Finish Library, The Boundless Sea needed to do a lot for me. Unfortunately it left me scratching my head.
This story had everything needed to make a fun, riveting adventure: River Song - check!; an archaeological dig - check!; reanimated corpses - check! But with a slow start and a questionable alien threat, who makes up for some rather ridiculous moments, The Boundless Sea never really hit its stride.
Where the story does best is in its dialogue, which is great throughout and performed wonderfully by Alex Kingston and Alexander Vlahos, a great duo. There was a fabulous scene towards the end between the two which, with a great composition, was very touching.
Overall, River Song's first audio outing came out with mixed results, feeling too much of a filler, but nonetheless entertaining.
6/10
