A review by alexampersand
The Angel Chronicles, Vol. 3 by Nancy Holder

dark emotional tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No

5.0

My god, I absolutely adored this. I mean, it's probably the easiest way to make an excellent Buffy book - and that's to literally just adapt three of the best and most tense episodes of the show (Surprise, Innocence, and Passion). I thought they translated perfectly to the page, the author obviously understands the character and the show well enough to give us good insight into their thought processes (something that doesn't always happen in the novelisations!!), and the stories function really well as a three-piece. EXCELLENT STUFF.
