adventurous dark funny lighthearted mysterious medium-paced

Much better instalment than the previous one. This one kept up with the storyline from the last volume, but without loads of random filler. Changing artistic elements such as giving willow her "season 3" hair and getting rid of the lizard vampires was a massive improvement. I don't get the whole spike and dru floating in the background because they left Sunnydale in season 2 but other than that it was an enjoyable read with a nice flow. The writers seemed to have found their groove with the direction they wanted to go with and it didn't seem as chaotic as the first volume.
