After 8 volumes and 1000 pages of story Buffy's 8th season finally lurches to a close with this book.
Nearly all the major characters from the original series play a role and there is the obligatory death. There's some good scenes and occasionally snappy dialogue. But the story is still a big mess.
Things happen for no real reason, except maybe because it would be cool. Everything just seems half-baked and half explained. Which is not too surprising since Jos Whedon is occupied by other projects and surely cannot give this his full attention.
Whedon seems to understand this and in an unusual afterword explains that Season 9 will be more down to Earth and more of a return to the spirit of the show.
It was a fun ride and this is a decent enough conclusion, but in the end it's still a mess.

The previous volume of Season Eight, "Twilight," was incredibly silly, to put it mildly. Even Joss Whedon, in his afterword to this volume, allows that they went a little crazy and got away from what makes Buffy a good franchise in that volume.
So this volume is all about wrapping up the over-the-top place we last saw our characters and bringing them back down to earth, literally, in one character's case.
As a result, it's not necessarily the most narratively satisfying -- the big should-be-character-defining death in this volume just sort of HAPPENS and things move on -- because Whedon and company are busy cleaning up all the mess from the night before.
That said, after "Twilight," I wasn't sure if I wanted to come back for Season Nine. "Last Gleaming" changed that. I'm definitely back in, especially since the creators seem to have identified what it was that made Buffy and company work to begin with.
Recommended mostly for diehards who are committed to seeing it through. Not a great volume for casual fans who aren't particularly concerned about Buffy continuity issues.
