Review: The whole concept of this novel was a tad
odd, as well as easily laughable. I mean, the idea of VAMPIRE FAIRIES
is enough to get me laughing for quite some time, but, for some
strange reason, once I got used to the idea of microvamps, I actually
found that the story moved along quite well. It's one of those cute
filler episodes in the series and though a tad strange, nevertheless
interesting. One thing that's easily notable is that the characters
are written extremely well, and this has to be pointed out because
there are a great many authors out there that cannot successful write
for every character. This isn't the case in this novel and the
dialogue for every characters was almost BEYOND perfect. Anya's lines
were watched exactly, as were Willow's. And it wasn't one of those
novels were they reuse old lines from episodes in order to make you
feel comfortable with the characters (which never actually works,
because all you do is roll your eyes and figure that the author can't
think of anything better), the author actually came with her own stuff
for the characters. Very impressive and it made for a good read. So
despite the fact that the storyline is a tad on the preposterous side,
it's still worthy of a read. |
