Well apart from a few nigles I rather liked it and it managed to illicit in me far stronger emotions then all of season 8 so far. I actually welled up at the return of Connoer and poor Wesleys exit.

This is the nearest thing that I've read that was a spin off and yet felt in the spirit of the original show.

I have to say I'm now rather dreading 'Aftermath' as I'm beginning to suspect that maybe the best is now behind us. :(
