In Every Generation

This book is more like 3.75-4, but only if you are a massive Buffy fan, which I am not. My husband bought it and I thought I'd read it, as I did watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer back in the day. All in all, this is basically like watching the TV show, but set 20 years after, which I guess is a compliment of sorts, but ultimately it wasn't really for me.

definitely has some flaws (genuinely wtf are they doing with willow in this??) but so far it seems better than the slayer duology

I have had a bit of an obsession with BTVS since my friend Jamie introduced it to me in 2004. We binge-watched it on DVD the way you did it back then. Buffy is what finally got me reading comic books and graphic novels so I could follow the story beyond when the TV show ended after season 7. So, of course, I had to read this new book! It did not disappoint! I just need the other two books in the series now!
