Summary: The Best Buffy novel I've read
Comment: I've read a few BtVS novels in the past and I have to say that I wasn't real impressed with them until now. While normally a good series tie-in novel just makes you wish it had been an episode of the tv show, this does not: it actually works better as a sort of philosophical exercise of a book. These characters in those situations are both fun, interesting, and believable. And in what may be a first, they actually manage to fit this one into continuity, kinda. Anyway, if you love Buffy, give this book a try.
Rating: 5
Summary: Not a normal Buffy story...
Comment: This book is rather different than most other Buffy an Angel books I've read. Now, it's not up to Buffy to save the world anymore, it really looks like this is the real end of the world. The books really gets into you when you are reading it, you can feel the despair, the anger, the fear and the grieve of all characters, and makes you think about stuff too... Great book, but not the 'traditiona'' buffy story with a discovery of a monster, buffy fight, loses, fights again and win'.
Rating: 3
Summary: Original Plot, but could have been better developed
Comment: Apocalypse Memories is certainly the most original of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer novels.
The premise of Apocalypse Memories is that the REAL Apocalypse is coming -- you know, the one in the book of Revelations. Where the good and evil are judged. That one. The BIG one.
Unlike many of the Buffy books where it is fairly obvious how Buffy will save the day, Apocalypse memories kept me wondering until the end just how Buffy was going to get out of this mess.
And, there are some excellent plot devices, such as the literal interpretation of the wolf-in-sheep's clothing and the unfightable bad guy.
The major subplot of this book, set early in Season Seven, is Willow's struggle with her magic and her fear that she'll return to the dark side if she starts using magic again. Willow's struggle with magic is realistically drawn as are most of the major characters.
My major complaint with this book is that it was too short for the ground it tried to cover. Under those circumstances, there really wasn't the depth of plot development that I would have liked. In addition, there were a couple places where seemingly important details were never tied back into the story.
All in all, a good, short read and faithful to the Buffy-verse.
