This is the second novel in the Angel series (the first was the novelization of the season premier), once again by Nancy Holder, an established Buffy writer who has successfully made the transition to Los Angeles and our dark and broody vampire hero.
Starting in the jungles of Southeast Asia the fate of Rais family has become inextricable woven with Latura, the Indonesian god of death and sickness, Fueled by the gods power to prolong life and grant favors Bang Rais has risen to great wealth and power. Now he, his son Jusef, and his nephew Slamet are on the verge of accomplishing the unthinkable - incarnating Latura in a human vessel, granting the deity absolute power.

Now he, his son Jusef, and his nephew Slamet are on the verge of accomplishing the unthinkable - incarnating Latura in a human vessel, granting the deity absolute power.
Called in to rescue the workers in a sweatshop, Angel finds himself confronted by a strange Indonesian wizard in a deadly firefight. Curious about Angel's involvement, Kate Lockley reveals that there has been a string of weird deaths by fire recently - people who burn up from the inside out. Angel investigates these crimes but is hampered by a lack of clues. Until Cordelia runs into both Jusef Rais and a purse snatcher while bargain hunting and winds up with an invitation to a funeral.
Nancy Holder sets out to create an action story with an intricate plot. Angel, Cordelia, Doyle, and a host of supporting characters weave back and forth to the point where it is sometimes difficult to tell who is the wizard and who is the sacrifice. Despite these confusing moments, the story works, very much due to Holder's natural ability to develop characters.
'Not Forgotten,' despite its flaws, is an interesting story with a careful balance between the often sarcastic humor of the Angel team and the grim cult that they are trying to defeat. Prepare to be both entertained and baffled, right up to the surprise finish.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
Not Forgotten is the first Angel novel that I read and to be honest I wasn't that impressed. Although for the most part it is a very good read and there were many times when I couldn't put the book down there were some parts of the novel that were a bit disappointing. There were a few characters who seem utterly pointless and a few things that seemed utterly pointless. For instance, what was the point in the bit were Angel talks to the old woman who then dies after confessing her secrets and what was the point in how he got there in the first place???? Overall, Not Forgotten was good but it wasn't anything to write home about. Hopefully the other Angel novels will be better.

I have to agree with a lot of the reviewers here: this book was a big disappointment, and the main reason why? Because it could have been so good. Nancy Holder, though a little confusing with all of her female charcaters and time-hopping, set up some very interesting sub-plots and twisted them nicely till you were going back through the book, trying to piece together what was going on. The climax approached...then, nothing. Her epilogue was an afront to the reader. It was as if she suddenly couldn't be bothered, or was perhaps planning a sequel she hasn't mentioned yet. The wonderful comparison between Meg and Cordelia was never explained, characters you've never heard of suddenly come in and solve the plot and it was like a clever idea gone wrong. I'll say this for her, though, the moppett was not that annoying. If someone buys you this book, don't grumble, but don't go out of your way to obtain it yourself.

worthwhile - and actually not at all confusing
I'm not going to tell you I can't understand why so many people are posting that they didn't liked the book, or mostly, the end. Because I can. Read more

No, No, No!
So, you're reading this book and it's good, yes? Except then it delves off into a ludicrous series of plot twists which rather than make it more interesting, they make it more... Read more

Not as good as could be expected - show fans only.
Though this was alright, the ending was confusing and not really sustained by the rest of the book - the speed of the conclusion just pulls the plot down. Read more

Best be forgotten!
Maybe my expectations where to high: a new 'Angel' novel by Nancy Holder sure sounded like a best-seller.
But I'm very disappointed. Read more

A Reasonable read
I enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to Angel fans, however I think anyone who doesn't already have a liking for Angel wouldn't really be impressed with this one. Read more

BRILLIANT STORY! A MUST FOR ANGEL FANS
Excellent. The fact that it wasn't an episode meant that i didn't know what was going to happen next. Also great to have a new story with Doyle in it. Read more
