3.5

i am unsure how to rate this.


the writing was well done and the characters mostly behaving typically to the show -so that’s well done too.

the story itself was good as well. 

but this takes place in season 5 … and abadoon makes an appearance. a different representation than the one than the one appearing in season 8 in the show BUT still i have to say that bothered me. 
i understand this was written before season 8 so it wasn’t as of the authors new the show would take the character of abadoon into a very different direction… but because of that and that knowledge of where the actual show takes the character this books representation of the abaddon character wasn’t up to snuff for me. 

but the rest of the book and it’s story? pretty well done. 
the time travel aspect was pretty well done, as already mentioned dean and sam were mostly behaving in recognizable ways and the overall plot was entertaining and fluently written and so easy to read and overall fun. 

it’s a good book but sadly has the negative side of if you have watched passed season 5 this representation of Abaddons character won’t reach the one done in the show. at least in my opinion!
