Summary: pretty good book
Review: this book starts out with the scooby gang helping out joyce summers at a sidewalk art fair. when xander keeps buffy from getting hit by a bunch of sawhorses falling off the back of a passing truck, he thinks he has pschic abilities. when everyone else just brushes it off, he goes into a funk and avoids everyone. that leaves him plenty of time to get to know one of the hot artist that is working in the show. when she volunteets to do tarot card reading for him, he is already to go. afterwards he is withdrawn and the scooby gang thinks that he is just upset with them still until oz also gets a tarot card reading from them and becomes withdrawan and distant. the scooby gang jumps into action to find out what justine(the hottie from the art show) is up to and barely escape with their lives. this book was worth reading even though when you read the back cover it sounds pretty dead.....

Summary: Better, but still off
Review: This is certainly an improvement over her first Buffy novel (Obsidian Fate) but Gallagher still doesn't know how to write the Buffy characters. This is especially obvious, in this book, in Buffy and Joyce. For one thing, Joyce is just way (way, waaay) too accepting of Buffy's role as the Slayer. It took her all of 1 page (barely) to ask for the Slayer's help, and she never looked back. As for Buffy: Gallagher still doesn't write Buffy; she writes a generic "empowered young female" character, but it's not Buffy. Pure and simple, the wit and rapport between the characters that makes the show a success still eludes this author. Gallagher does seem to know a lot about Tarot, so if you're into that sort of thing you'll probably enjoy this book. If you aren't already familiar with the show, don't read this book because you'll be very confused very quickly. The author repeatedly references people, places and situations without bothering to explain them to the reader (assuming, probably rightly most of the time, that the reader is already familiar with these things).
