Caution: Spoilers abound if you haven't read the first 3 books in this series. The final showdown with Giles, King of the Vampires is at hand. However, even if they beat him, the price will be high. Buffy and her friends must find a way to send Buffy-at-nineteen back before she made the fatal mistake that caused all of this. The only complaint I have about this is that although most of the dialogue is very true to the show, Anya's lines all ring flat. Fortunately she doesn't figure much in the tale. Besides that, the action is well-rendered (I had much less trouble visualizing the scenes than I did in the last couple volumes in the series), and the story itself is very compelling. Very well done. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

HOMECOMING Joyce Summers is dead. Spike has been slain and Faith, rogue Slayer, is gone as well. Southern California has fallen under vampire rule. And Rupert Giles is Vampire King. Buffy can hold no one but herself responsible for this grim possible future; her own insecurities and petty jealousies led to this moment. She must now gather her inner strength and combat the demon that inhabits the corpse of her most trusted mentor. With the help of Willow and the Slayerettes, Buffy must invoke the elements, stave off a vampire stronghold, and return to her real-time body -- but not before identifying and preventing the misstep that brought about the oppression of those she holds closest....

Set in early Season Four (Xander and Anya are together, so are Oz and Willow), this has Buffy yanked forward to an alternative future in which Giles has been turned vampire by the ancient demon Camazotz (I'd always thought that was just the evil planet of A Wrinkle in Time, but it turns out that it's also the name of an Aztec god of bats). This gives Golden licence to kill off many characters both new and old, before returning Buffy to our time line where everything is almost as before. It's well enough written, with reflections on how the other characters would have developed in five years where they had continued the fight without Buffy.
I'm troubled, though, as I was in the other book I read by this author, that the story ends up on the wrong side of colonialism - Camazotz, who is after all a native American entity, is rapidly outsmarted by vampire Giles who takes charge of his realm and allows the indigenous inhabitants only as much licence as he finds amusing; and this is presented as a natural development. So I may cast my reading of Buffy a bit wider, but I think I will try other writers next. ( )
