Not a lot happens. But what does is at least quick moving. There's way too many hints and not enough substance. And more entertaining than I was expecting for some reason. 3.5 of 5.

The beginning of Season Nine is far and away a better start than that of season eight. The scope of 8 was always too grand and it got away from the core of what made Buffy, Buffy. Season nine seems to be back on track.

I decided I like Willow's new haircut. Also, I like that this season seems to be back to basics, and Buffy has a life balance (sort of) again, instead of all slay all the time.

From Goodreads:
Season 8 ended with a bang that cut the world off from magic—culminating in another set of world-ending problems. Buffy has left her best friend, Willow, powerless, and brought an end to a millennia-long tradition of superpowered girls. By day, Buffy is a twenty-something waitress with no real direction, and even though magic is gone, she’s still a vampire Slayer by night. Bigger problem? Vampires are becoming an epidemic . . . of zompires!
First, the artwork…love it! Most of the characters look the way I expect them to and I love the new peeps. There was one guy I wasn’t sure who it was, but then I realized it was Riley. He definitely didn’t look right. Other than that, I loved it.
Now, the story…I was quite disappointed with Season 8, but being a fan I knew I had to continue on. I have to say this new season is starting off with promise. After the destruction of the seed, things are very grim for the magical community, but Buffy still needs to slay vampires. Unfortunately, she needs a job in order to pay bills, so she works in a coffee shop. She sorta has the normal mundane life she once wanted with a job and an apartment with roommates, but things are never what they seem. Zompires? Eldre Koh? Severin? Spike? The groundwork is laid and it looks like things are going to be very interesting. I hope they continue to be so and that ending? Holy shit! What will Buffy do now?!
