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!!!!

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

This is an actual published book, which means it was approved by someone along the lines who owns the rights to Buffy, and the Buffy-verse. But what is too bad is that this book is about four levels below some of the unauthorized fan fiction out there. Because as everyone from every genre knows; the first rule of fanfiction is to NEVER have more than two brand new characters. Two is okay if you balance with the cannon characters, but more than that and it turns into a story about someone else,

Bought this book at a garage sale on a whim, because the TV show is just plain good fun. The book captures the characters pretty well, but it turns out that it's a lot harder to READ the old dialogue and all the Slayer action than it is to watch it. And I don't mean hard as in difficult to comprehend; I just mean it's a lot more awkward in text than in visuals. But, I certainly didn't pick up this book expecting it to be a great piece of high literature; I picked it up expecting it to be a

TERRIBLE... do NOT waste your time.

3.5/5 stars

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.

drawn out, too much historical crap, with very fast wrap it up in 20 pages ending. Buffy/Angel interaction was good though.
