Review: Well it took me a good year and
a half to pick up this last book in the series. The first two were
absolute horrid and I was dreading reading this book. However, it turned
out to be one hell of a page turner. I got it done in no time and the
story was wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the alternate planes that
Buffy and Angel were on, really added some flavour to the novel. Also,
busting Faith out of jail was pretty damned cool... unfortunately, they
seemed to use this character just for the sake of using her. Honestly,
the whole novel could have done without her. (Plus she only appears in
the second half.) Best line was between her and Spike though: "Thought
you'd have been dusted long ago," Faith retorted. "I don't know why
Buffy lets you slide."
"It's because of my charm and good looks." - Spike
"Get real." - Faith
Priceless. Absolutely priceless. Slightly weird though... because
they'd only ever met briefly (when Faith was in Buffy's body).
Anyway, great novel, a loads better than I was expecting! |
