This was originally published as a serial, in four parts. Therefore, there was quite a bit of repetition in reading it as a full novel. (And for some reason it took me ages to read. I think maybe it could have been edited down a little more.) It was still a bit of fun alternative-timeline Buffyverse.

This was a reread. I read a lot of Buffy tie in books when I was in elementary and high school. This one was always my favourite and it still holds up for me ten years later. The characters are true to their television counterparts and the story is filled with tons of surprising and exciting twists and turns. This is a fun read. I recommend highly for Buffy fans. :)

Oh this book was so much fun to read. I loved getting an in depth-ish glimpse at the Buffyverse. It was very well written - very true to the characters and the show. I would have liked more Giles time, but that's how I feel about the show too.
Happy to add this one to my collection. And I'll probably have to start looking for more Buffy books. They're just so fun.

I'm glad that I read books 1-4 at once. The cliffhangers! But on the other hand. Maybe if I had the cliffhangers I would have been more interested. I kind of hated this.

I found the four parts of this novel abandoned by the laundry room, and picked them up out of curiosity. The story was solid, but the prose was weak. It's a fun little what-if tale, if that is an appropriate term for a brush with an apocalyptic death future.

This was my first Buffy fiction. It was okay, but the plot wasn't very compelling. It was hard to care about the story because of the way it was written (you know from the start that one of the stories is ... less important, shall we say). It annoyed me a bit because Doctor Who has had many storylines like this, and they manage to write it in such a way that you care about the "second" storyline anyway.
On the plus side, the voices of the characters are well written and reminiscent of the TV show.
