(Re-read)
I'm finding the pacing of these four issue arcs (with one bonus one-off per collection) to be a bit off. They wrap up just a little too quickly and make me wish that thee full five issues were used for the arc. In this one, in particular, Faith's "big decision" just seemed to happen way to quickly without any proper seeding. After everything she's been through, it just didn't seem like her (hell, Angel basically says as much). And then she kind of does a similar thing by suddenly changing her mind about Angel's intention to resurrect Giles. I like the story, but the character work just feels a bit rushed. Drusilla, though: top notch, as always.
