Summary: A Good Ending in any Dimension
Comment: Nancy Holder and Jeff Mariotte have brought their crossover trilogy to an end in grand style. Action packed this book brings each of the complex plots to an agreeable end. Everyone plays apart as the gang tries to defeat the monsters, find the missing children, and stop the gang warfare. It is the action rather than the relationships, which sparkle in this story. The battles are well written. Poodle size rats, disembodied armor, slavers, mad zoo keepers, shadows, giant worms and miscellaneous monsters threaten the gang.
Because there are so many characters it is hard to give them equal time or explore their emotions as much as fully as the reader might like. Not only do we have Buffy, Angel and their gangs, but even Faith and the mayor make an appearance. The authors for the most part have done an excellent job of working in the series history and keeping the characters true to their TV personalities. There are some lovely inside jokes that true Buffy fans will love. There are, however, some inconsistencies. When Faith is added to the team she pitches in to help Angel but says she owes Buffy nothing. Yet the last we saw Faith on the TV series she was acknowledging that Buffy was the only one who gave her chance after chance and that she had not only rejected her friendship but had attacked her friends and messed with her life. So it was hard to understand her anger at Buffy.
The back drop of the other realities was very intriguing. I loved the vampire zoo especially and the worm tunnels made my skin crawl. A nice touch was the temptations. Although I think that Angel's temptation would have been more realistic if it had not excluded Buffy.
I enjoyed the trilogy and this book in particular. I recommend it highly to Buffy fans but I would not suggest reading it without reading the other two Unseen volumes first.

Summary: nice ending to a great series
Comment: the second book left off with buffy and angel going into the
alterealiteas to try and bring the missing teenagers home.
they are seperated and find that they must fight a slew of
demons in order to find the teens. meanwhile spike decides to
get heroic and jumps in the portal after them. the scooby gang
back in sunnydale think that they could still use some more
help so they bust faith out of prison to come to the resuce.
this book is full of adventure and surprise. it has a good
grip on the changes in the personalities of the characters
since buffy and angel split and even throws in a few good
jealous lines coming from riley that he is left behind and is
only human whereas angel comes out like the superhero. this
3 part series was great and i hope that authors write more
crossovers considering that there probaly wont be any more on
the television shows. and to all you avid readers, dont miss
the lost slayer series. that tops all. they are short books
but you will be ticked that the next one will not be out for
a month.

Summary: Didn't care for the characterizations
Comment: This book seemed pretty flat to me, compared to the characters on the TV show. Especially the sub-plot surrounding Spike. There was a lot "happening" in this book, but I couldn't be moved to care much. Unlike the show, where you can go from tears to laughing out loud in a heartbeat.
