Even Willow's own coven has turned against her now. Condemned
for saving Buffy from their evil phantom and for not protecting
the other coven members fully, as she had promised, Willow
must come up with a way to restore herself to them - and to
reinforce her position of power, which hangs in the balance.
But the truth - that she battled the phantom because the ghost
of Tara told her to - will only lower Willow's status in the
eyes of her coven...
In book two of the Wicked Willow series Willow turns
to the elements for protection, Buffy and the rest of the
Scoobies must find a way to fight back without losing Willow
forever.
Shattered
Twilight reinforces what I thought might be the case with
book one - that these three novellas could have been written
as just one story in one book. I'm not saying it's a bad one,
but not that much really happens in the instalment.
This book focuses on the problems Willow faces after the Scooby
gatecrashed her party at the end of book one. She needs to
rebuild her coven and yet again gain the trust of those that
didn't get sucked... god knows where! She does get some surprises
too when she manages to bring back three of the missing group,
plus thanks to Ania the Scoobies - and Giles especially -
get some surprises of their own.
This
story seems to follow a very similar plot to the first however;
this time Willow builds a monster in which she infuses part
of the spirit of a lost comrade (you'll have to read it to
find out who!) and the good guys are again trying to get into
Willow's apartment and do something to stop her gaining power.
Giles
has a different plan this time though; one involving the ghost
of Tara.
So
do the Scoobies stop evil Willow and bring her back to her
not-so-black self? Or is Willow consumed by the fight to bring
Tara back that she loses herself completely? Well you won't
know until you get to read book three.
While
I've given it a bit of a beating in this review, Shattered
Twilight isn't really that bad a story, it's just that
there isn't that much to it. A simple pick up and read book
for Buffy fans, but it won't take up much of your time.
