We know who the darkness is. We knew who the bad people are, the villains of this book. We know from the beginning and now it’s do we defeat the villains or do we do something else. Plus, the Scooby’s really need to get Buffy back. This book also gets a little bit into Frankie‘s romance with a demon which is interesting but is a little too much Angel angst for this reader. Even Willow is like oh my god, Angel 2.0. I (Willow) do not need to deal with this. Overall, this is a fantastic conclusion to this series. Is this the best book series? Probably not. However, this book ended the series in the right place. I love that this book and the series wasn’t about the romance, even though that is prevalent in this book, unless you can Willow’s romance… This was about growing up taking on a new lead and learning that you can do anything and that others believe in you as well. I like this book. I like this series. It was a great trip down memory lane even if I did do a little look up for who some of the old characters were. I think this was a great addition to Buffy and I’m glad I finally got around to reading them.
