Relation In Favor Of Books The Book of Fours (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 3 #23)

Four Slayers! What else can you ask?! This prose novel is set during the third season of "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer". IN EVERY GENERATION THERE IS ONE... WAIT! When I read this novel, back then on 2001, I was lucky to be able to get it on its hardcover format. Since it was a beautiful cover presenting four slayers on it. Yes, you may wonder so what happened with b>In every generation there is one Slayer thing, well, the old prophecy never considered that sometime in the future, there'd something called... ...CPR. Yes, Buffy Summers was medically "dead" for a couple of minutes at the end of the First Season of the TV series, her good friend, Xander Harris, did the unthinkable (well, unthinkable for wizards that never considered certain areas of progress in that competition practice known as medicine) and applied CPR to Buffy, and voilá! A Slayer is back to life, but since she was "dead" for a pair of minutes, the old prophecy was activated once again and it gives the power of The Slayer to Kendra, next in line (that in my humble, very personal, opinion, the Slayer's power should be diluted, since I think that Buffy was less strong in Second Season than in First Season, but of course, the stuff developed at the end of Seventh Season, totally overruled my believing of the power should be diluted, oh, well...) having in that way, TWO Slayers at the same time, in the same generation, and when Kendra eventually died during Second Season, the Slayer calling was activated again, this time for Faith, and in that way, still having two active Slayers at the same time. This story is set on the third season of the TV series at some moment BEFORE the defecting of Faith to the Mayor's army. So, in here, Faith and Buffy are allies here. This is indeed a very good story for Buffy, the Vampire Slayer fans, since you will not only have two slayers but... FOUR!!! However, how Kendra and India Cohen (previous slayer to Buffy) are able to interact in the story is something that I won't spoil, since fans would know that at this moment in the TV Series, Kendra was already dead (Faith was activated due this) and India Cohen's death was what activated Buffy Summer's activation as Slayer. But, don't worry! While there'd flashbacks, especially telling India Cohen's story, you will have the four Slayers battling side by side, in the best possible way due the circumstances. Even, while at this moment, the TV series had already three season developed, you'll meet for the first time several family members of the Buffy's team that never were seen before in the TV series. SLAYERS ON THEIR... ELEMENTS The prose novel presents a new villain called Cecile Lafitte, which has backstory related to India Cohen, and now she is looking to kill the current Slayers, Buffy and Faith... ...and she has in her power four very special axes with the power to kill specific slayers,... ...since each Slayer's power relies in connection with one of the four elements: fire, water, air and earth, and using the right axe against the right Slayer, they can be killed... ...and if the killing is done in that way... ...the prophecy of transfering the power of The Slayer to the next chosen one... ...CAN BE STOPPED!!! And won't be any new Slayer anymore! Buffy is the Slayer of Air; Faith is the Slayer of Fire; Kendra was the Slayer of Earth; and India Cohen was the Slayer of Water. But, that it's only the first step in the plans of Cecile Lafitte! Something even more powerful and dangerous will be menacing the whole world if Lafitte is able to stop the linage of Slayers. An adventure so big that just one Slayer wasn't enough! It'll need it four!!!!

Comment On Out Of Books The Book of Fours (Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 3 #23)

It talks about the slayer that activated Buffy, the one who died before her. Really cool to learn about her.

Buffy book gift package from my beautiful friend Kay.

Perhaps I should have started with a different Buffy book, but the promise of four Slayers was too alluring. Unfortunately, there was far too much exposition of every detail of the motivations of the numerous uninteresting villains. That, along with the many pointless plot lines made this kind of a slog.

I'm a massive Buffy geek and this book is a little bit "out there" (two dead Slayer spirits taking over the bodies of Willow and Cordelia, getting them thrown off a cliff and hacked to pieces respectively only for the ACTUAL Will and Cordy to wake up in bed as if the last 24hrs hadn't happened? Bit too "weird" for my Buffy liking.) for my taste.Yes, it's got a decent story that dives more into the past of the Slayers, coughing up the girl who's death called Buffy herself and how she is the

It wasn't the best I've read, but it was alright.

If you are a huge fan of Buffy, you will love this book. Nancy Holder got all the characters down - it was like watching a really long episode. Loved that other Slayers were introduced & that you were given enough on them to really get a feel for them. This book made me want to go out and find other Buffy books written by Nancy Holder. Will probably give her other stuff a try, as well.

It was okay. The idea for the main plot was mostly good. It was more the way it was written that turned me off. The characters didn't feel like the canon character and there were just too many threads to it. The Kevin subplot could have been removed and the story would have exactly the same, tbh was also didn't need so much background for Cecile. But it was okay overall.
