Sunnydale, The Hellmouth, Spike, Willow, Oz… the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer about 20 years after the show. This was pretty good, but not great. I enjoyed the story but it seemed to drag in parts and I never really connected with the characters. If the characters were more fleshed out and empathetic I think it would probably be so great.
This is one to buy on sale, or borrow from the library, to read when you just want an easy dip into nostalgia.
*edit also there was a whole thing about virginity that didn’t sit right. On one hand someone says it’s a patriarchal construct, but on the other it’s this tangible thing that differentiates some blood from other blood. I found that whole storyline contradictory and hypocritical. I would appreciate a more thoughtful, more feminist approach.
