Um that fight scene was SUPER anti-climactic. There could have been at least two more pages to amp up the stakes. I feel like this story got shortchanged. There's so much more there and unfortunately, the story is already over. I can only hope that Lewis decides to continue with Red's story. This should not have ended so quickly, nor should it have been the end. RIP Coyotes.

I'm really tired of reboots. With this, in particular, I don't feel like I'm getting anything new from the story. Buffy will always be a teenager torn between normalcy and the occult. It's just part of the narrative and unless it's doing something new and innovative, I'd rather just rewatch the show. I can't say I'm thrilled about the reimagining of characters like Anya and Willow. Where is my geeky Willow who blossoms into a wicca badass? She's already kind of cool and hot? And she's queer off the bat which I guess is nice but does that mean no Oz? Anya is an adult? A businesswoman with beef against someone??? The art was great and captured the likeness of the main characters really well. However, the voices for Buffy and Willow seem off. Xander and Giles are pretty spot on but there's a loss of that quirky SoCal lingo that we so loved in the show. I just don't think this series is going to do anything new.

4.5/5 Super cute and relatable for any self-proclaimed book nerd. Was able to get through this in under an hour and had so many pages/panels that I wanted to screenshot and send to my partner shouting, "THIS IS ME!" There's nothing quite like the meeting of the minds of book lovers THROUGH books! I only wish it had been longer!

This book moved too slowly for me. It has taken me months to finish because it dragged so much, which is NOT what you want from a book that centers around a RACE! It was like The Hunger Games if everyone just sat around and schemed and all their plans were half-assed to begin with. The "love interest" was boring and unnecessary. The only exciting bit happened in the last 15 minutes--why couldn't the rest of the book have been like the last three chapters? I started out loving the prose of this book (and I will stand by the fact that Graudin had a great concept and writes lyrically) but the plot just wasn't there, it was not executed well at all. I think there should have been a personal journey for Yael and unfortunately, it all got lost in her mission. Yes, logically a young Jewess from the concentration camps would want to kill Hitler but that never came across emotionally. It all seemed very dry. Where was Yael's rage?

Very disappointing read for such a cool premise.
