Child of the Hunt

This Buffy novel is around twice as long as most of the others. This means there is more room for the author to write about the characters (yea!) and it ends up helping the plot, too.

The extra space is well worth the effort. The book uses mythology in that it is about Herne, the hunter. He and a bunch of his followers invade Sunnydale. They kidnap some people and kill others.

Xander, Willow and Giles are all taken captive. This leaves Buffy to try and stop the invaders. She's also trying to find out about a child who is with a travelling circus-like group and who seems to be involved in the hunt too.

The authors have the characters down pat; they act and talk just like they do in the television episodes. The plot itself is very interesting and fits well into the Buffy universe.The novel keeps you involved with the story for the entire book. Really a good book to read!
