Picked up a little from the last book, if only because there was less tech sci-fi and less gang warfare. However, the plotting here just wasn't doing it for me. It felt like we took forever to get Buffy and Angel into the alternate world, and when they're there they once again just sort of meander around, and then start rescuing hostages with very little fanfare. Faith is introduced as a sort of deus ex machina to bring them home in literally the last 50 pages of the book.

Thoughts on the trilogy as a whole - it feels like, on paper, when you read the blurb, this whole series is really interesting. In reality, it feels like the writers just didn't really know how to go about expanding that idea into a novel, let alone three novels. So much meandering. So much back and forth. 

And the concept of the 'Unseen' felt... weak? There were a couple of lines thrown in about characters feeling unseen, but not in a way that really felt thematically poignant or developed enough to even warrant throwing in, let alone enough to name the trilogy after it.

I think that if this had been one book, I might not have felt quite so negative towards it, but stretching it out over a trilogy just honestly made me quite resentful of how much time I was investing in it, sorry!
