The
Ghost of Tara has disappeared. At first Willow thought it
was because of something she'd done - or worse, that the universe
was again conspiring to hurt her. But ultimately she learns
that Buffy and the gang are the culprits. Willow
desperately wants Tara back. Not only does she miss her immensely,
the spirit's presence is necessary to perform the resurrection
spell Willow's been working on. Buffy and the Scoobies hope
to drain Willow's power, and release Spike and Oz from their
enslavement. But Willow's anger is endless, and it seems she'll
stop at nothing in her fight to bring Tara back, no matter
what the cost...
Broken
Sunrise is the final instalment of the Wicked Willow
trilogy, and makes up for everything the other two lacked.
One hell of a good conclusion, to what had been a very, very
slow beginning, this book has a bit of everything, and is
amazingly dark and gory for a Buffy story!
By
trying to negotiate with Willow over the return of the Ghost
of Tara, the Scoobies discover how far gone she is, and that
her rage is all consuming at this stage. When she finds out
that they are holding her lover captive, her anger overcomes
even her love of Tara and she goes all out to destroy the
gang in the most gory, painful way. Without giving too much
away, I'll just mention paralysis and slowly being eaten alive.
You getting the picture..?
Through
all this, Buffy is trying to work out a way to bring Willow
back from the dark, plus Oz and Spike make a well-needed return
to this book when Willow frees them (in a way) as part of
the negotiations. You do get to see glimpses of what she calls
weakness but what we'd see as compassion. Then comes the attempted
resurrection spell, and all goes badly as Tara had foretold.
Willow comes full circle back to how the series' version of
events ended, so we still get Xander being the hero he deserves
to be.
An excellent conclusion to what was an otherwise dull series.
Even if you don't want to read the others, you've still definitely
got to pick this up just to be surprised by the gore factor
alone!
