Not a bad entry. I've been reading them so far apart that it's sometimes hard to remember what the main arc is, but this one focuses a lot on Fred which I think is pretty neat.

I did not really understood where they went with Illyria. After so many ways of making it a real character with feelings and her own path and now they basically erased all of the growth/character development and made Illyria as bad as in the first episode she appeared in. I don't get it, and they don't seem to have a clear reason to have done it, they just needed the conflict I guess. I would have found it way more interesting if Illyria had been what she was the last time we saw her. I feel kinda cheated by that red-pilling of the character...

I really do love the dynamic between Faith and Angel, back since the show itself. Faith has long been one of my favorite characters, and her redemption elevated Angel from emo mope to sage and compassionate guide. They are both strengthened by the friendship.

Faith has returned London and Angel has taken an old friend under his wing.

The book description itself spoils the appearance of Fred, and I love that she's back. But do I buy it? Does literally no one ever stay dead? Still, if it's gotta be someone, I'm thrilled it's her, and the fact she can be the dominant half, bringing forth Illyria only when needed? So freaking convenient, so flippin awesome. Suspension of disbelief is strong with the Buffyverse in post-show comic form.

The return of Angel Investigations! I girly-squeed. I need a life.
