Not as good as the previous volume but it was fun to see some familiar faces. I'm not sure if the story is right now that interesting, the bad guys aren't that memorable.

I loved this volume, and it's been my favorite of this series so far. Willow is my favorite female character from Buffy, so I was glad to see her reappear, even if only for a short while. Faith's complicated thought process gets a glimpse, although she's clearly changed. I know not all fans feel this way, but I've always loved Connor as a character, so I loved the interaction between Father and Son. A part of me wishes they could be closer, but I know that Angel wants to keep Connor safe and to give him a chance to live a relatively normal, fulfilling life. This volume had some great extended metaphors about revisiting the demons of our past, both literal and metaphorical. I am not sure how I feel about Angel's quest, but apparently, the next volume will teach us more about Giles, so I am excited about it. I loved the bonus material in this volume because it gave more backstory behind Angel as Twilight and his history with Whistler. Definitely a worthwhile read!

This installment is extremely action-packed. Faith and Angel, along with Willow and Connor, head to Quor'toth to try and figure out a way to return magic to Earth. I really enjoyed seeing the hell dimension where Connor grew up, as well as having Angel back in LA and seeing a Gunn cameo. The action was good (and a big gruesome), and I enjoyed the character development, even if it was a bit sunshine and roses. My biggest complaint was that the big fight wrapped up easily at the end. Also, there's the return of another character who is much more of a scary creep than he was before, so that's a good surprise. Now I'm just annoyed that I read it in one day and I have to wait until December for the next installment.

4.5-4.75. Loved seeing Connor again, particularly because he was no longer whiny. Some of the best moments of the Angel & Faith miniseries so far!

It's nice seeing Connor in a way that doesn't make me roll my eyes out of my head! Also, having Giles's aunts in the picture is a bit like Angel and Faith living with the women from Absolutely Fabulous, and I heartily approve of that.

Spoiler I like the idea of Whistler as the big "bad" behind-it-all, and the human vs. demon's visions of how evolution should work.

First we had Drusilla in the last installment and now Connor and Gunn? Yay! I hate to admit it, but I am enjoying Angel & Faith far more than any of the Buffy graphic novels.

Oh, of course Willow knows Giles’s preternaturally young great aunts. Oh, of course. Connor would be one of the keys to restoring magic to the world. Oh, of course there’s a reason that Quor’toth is a hell dimension and raising a human/vampire child there would have unforeseen consequences.

I liked this a lot. I ESPECIALLY liked when Faith launches Angel into the air like Colossus launches Wolverine. Nice metatexualism.
