Otherwise it's a perfectly fine Doctor Who novel and I've been enjoying it.

I had the same thoughts when I read Silhouette by Justin Richards. It was also a pretty good Doctor Who novel made better by the inclusion of Madame Vastra, Jenny and Strax.
The problem was just what you said: it had to have been written so far in advance of the new series to get the release dates to synch up that the Doctor character really suffers. I wasn't that big a fan of Clara in it, either; but she's starting to get on my nerves in the TV show so that may just be me!
