Gain Access These Our Actors (Buffy The Vampire Slayer: Season 5, #1) Constructed By Ashley McConnell In Manuscript

enjoyable enough story, and the authors found the voices for Willow, Spike and Dru I question everyone else, but those were the main characters for this story anyway.


It centers around Willow's Drama class the one Buffy had to drop when she needed to take care of Dawn and actually get a job, in addition to being The Chosen One and the story of how William became Spike.
It jumps between Sunnydale inand London, I enjoyed the London story a bit more, as it was the Spike story and I do so love him, . . even now It took a little bit for the stories to get going, and to weave into each other, but when they did, the lastpages of the book read like lightning flashes.


I would recommend this book to Buffy fans, specifically those who liked Will and Spike, It would've been better if they had stuck to the William aka Spike and Drus shizz, . not Willow and Tara shizz, . . XD A book based on the television series, This isn't your typical media tiein book as the titular character is not part of the book as she makes several short cameos, This book deals with Willow and Spike, This book explores two different storylines and meshes them at the end, The first story is Willow enrolls in a drama class and she notices that something is amiss, The second storyline is the exploration of Spike becoming a vampire and his first weeks as being a vampire, This was explored during the show but this book goes into more detail,

The highlight of this book was Spike's story, The author did a great job with the characters of Spike, Angelus, Dru, and Darla, I really enjoyed depth of the story and how each character was portrayed esp, Angelus. Even though it was Spike's story, it was Angelus calling the shots, There is one minor problem with this plot, It contradicts with facts that was later explored on the show, I am going to guess this wasn't the author's fault, Maybe this novel was written before the episode was aired, If you can get by this discrepancy, this particular plot was very enjoyable,

The Willow story was decent and I liked how it was eventually weaved in with Spike's story, The problem and which forced me to lower my rating from four to three was the ending, It was very abrupt and lackluster, I had to read it twice because I thought I missed something, A shame too that the last five pages brought down my enjoyment,

This was a nice foray into this universe, Fans of Spike or Willow will especially enjoy this book as they take center stage, I recommend only reading this book if you have prior knowledge of this universe,
Cool idea for this one Its the Buffy universe, sois basically automatic, Its more like.though, just because the very lastpages the big battle too was a bit all over the place, I couldnt tell you what happened or how the people who made it out survived but hey, its Buffyverse, Still enjoyed it a lot! The Willow/Spike dynamic is one of my favourites and it was fun to read more adventures with those two : A really good book that totally crapped out on the ending.
:

For fans of Buffy, she hardly appears in this Willow and Spike take the lead, I can't resist a Buffy novel! And one focusing on Willow

and Spike not your usual combination of heroes, but it kind of worked,

I absolutely loved the premise of the story, It focuses on the history of the theatre that the first 'plays' were actually rituals used to summon Gods and spirits, Although over the years the power has been diluted, using the correct incantation can do the same thing, Willow discovers this while taking a drama class at Uni, where she comes under the influence of a professor one that Spike knew a long, long time ago.


Sadly, I don't think the author's did the concept justice, The chapters set in Ye Olde London, when Spike was still human, were completely distracting and a waste of time, Buffy fans will know his back story and new readers don't really need to know it in quite so detailed a way, as it only really impacts on the modern day situation towards the end.
. . and I guessing that most readers would have guessed who the professor is long before the big reveal!

The chapters set in the modern era were full of fun and adventure, just like a TV episode.
It was good to see Willow get her own story, and it sort of fitted in with the series it's set against, I loved the fact that she was so angry about getting a fake 'A' when she wanted a fake 'A' so Willow!

But the ending, for me, was mangled.
The big showdown happened in half a chapter and even though I read it twice, I'm not sure that I got it, Something seemed to have been missed out or maybe it was just so anticlimatic, I mean, I don't even know what happened to the professor I guess our heroes won, but I'm not sure who! I can't help thinking that if the authors had dropped some of Spike's back story, there would have been more room for a more satisfying ending.


That said, it was still an enjoyable read and any visit to the Buffyverse is worth doing, Spoiler I didn't like how they changed part of Spike's history, He didn't kill Cecily as far as Buffy History goes, If he did, she wouldn't have been on the show as Helfrek I know that's spelled wrong, but you know who I mean, Its obvious in the show that when Helfrek shows up at Buffy's birthday party that no one can leave that she is Cecily from Spike's past, Even in the comic books they keep to that, Helfrek tells Spike that Cecily was just a creation to get at the people from his group, to pay some Vengeance.
. . being a Vengeance Demon and all, I know writers have the right to write what they want, . . but I don't like when they change some of the show's history, Its not that had to go along with it, is it A very different kind of Buffy book, . . meaning I think the word Buffy is only printedtimes or so, This book isWillow and Spike! Which at first I was annoyed with, but it worked out well, I recommend to any big Spike fan as it gives a lot of background on his character, My only complaint about this book was how quickly the big evil ended afterpages of build up, But good over all. .
