4.0

I definitely enjoyed this volume as well as the first one. In particular, I appreciated the stronger presence of diverse female characters, such as the slayer Kendra and the formidable sisters Lilith and Lamia. I think Volume 1 could be read and appreciated by people who have not watched the TV show. Since this collection does not flow quite as linearly, it would help for people to have seen the first 3 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. For me, this volume filled in important gaps of Buffy's story, such as her parents' divorce, her sister Dawn, and what happened during Spike and Dru's trip to Europe. The artwork is beautiful, and the book is a fun and engaging read. Also, the female characters are drawn realistically, which I appreciate.
