In Every Generation by Kendare Blake
5.0
* I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review *
I really really really loved this book! I love Buffy and am always excited about tie-in books, and this was no exception. It took me a minute to get all the characters sorted in this new generation of Scoobies, but this really captured the spirit of the original show (minus the terrible Joss Whedon misogyny). The banter, the references, the Big Bad, and the relationships all gave me such a happy, nostalgic rush. This book follows Willow's daughter, Frankie, who becomes the next Slayer after an accident at a Slayer convention (maybe) killed the rest. She has to figure out what happened to the rest of the Slayers while training with her Watcher to keep Sunnydale safe from a new Big Bad who arrives after hearing there's no one protecting it anymore. If you're not already a Buffy fan, then I probably wouldn't recommend this one, because it does rely on a lot of knowledge of the show and the universe to understand. You might still enjoy the banter and the villains, but understanding the relationship dynamics and the history are going to be rough without background knowledge. If you are a Buffy fan, then this is probably a great read for you.
