January 22 Had the dream again last night. Only, this time it was different. . . . Faith has always been a loner. Growing up in a broken home in South Boston, shuffled from relative to relative, her only companion was an imaginary friend named Alex, who helped her escape into a fantasy world of monsters and the supernatural, far from the real-life horrors of the waking world. Now, taken away from her mother by social services and shipped off to a foster home, Faith learns that some nightmares are all too real, that the inventions of her childhood really do haunt the night, hungry for blood. Enter Diana Dormer, a Harvard professor and representative of the Watchers Council who has come to tell Faith of her destiny, to train her, to prepare her for what is to come: Faith is the Chosen One. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. But she's not alone. When Alex, her childhood companion, returns in her dreams, she warns Faith that someone else is coming for her, a force so deadly and unforgiving that it has inspired fear in the underworld for a thousand generations. Its name is Malice. As memory and fantasy begin to merge, Faith's two worlds collide, with cataclysmic results. A violent battle for the Slayer's soul is staged, winner take all. This is her story. . . .… (meer)

Huge Content Note for this novel for child abuse, sexual assault, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, addiction and mental health discussion and portrayal.

That said, Levy does an incredible job of capturing Faith's voice and the book/diary feels very authentic and in-character. The story is a great look at things that are hinted at in the beginning of Season 3 and just overall very well written and engaging. ( )

Yeah, I definitely never thought I would ever read a TV tie-in book, but I picked this up at the library and found myself instantly absorbed. It's a surprisingly well-written and well-executed story, and really does the character justice. And a very very quick read.... :) ( )

Media-tie in works are often a tricky thing. They're heavily controlled by those that control the franchise so usually don't have much opportunity to go beyond some very carefully drawn lines and have to be careful to reset to canon, which can make it very hard to allow characters to grow. This story however, manages to transcend the usual media-tie-in book.

The Faith voice in this diary narrative is pitch perfect; having read this book, I'm never going to forget it and consider it part of my personal canon for Faith. I felt that, yes, this is the character--these events explain the girl we met in Season Three of Buffy. The book made me feel for Faith, made her real to me as this young Bostonian teen from a rough neighborhood who would have good reason to feel envy and disdain for a Buffy. Wonderful backstory and read, a novel that is genuinely moving. ( )

Finally, "Buffy" fans get to find out where Faith really comes from. The book does an excellent job of creating a detailed backstory for Faith using hints from canon (the Boston connection, her mother, "5x5" and so on). It has a great "Faith voice" too. The author, Robert Joseph Levy, certainly seems to be familiar with the Boston area.

But it only gets four stars because he also has Faith saying that she's not into women. HAH. YEAH RIGHT. ( )
