It's been 13 years since Buffy Summers the vampire slayer and her friends did a spell to awaken all slayers worldwide. Now Buffy's best friend Willow and her daughter Frankie Rosenberg may be what's left to save the world. It looks like all the slayers including Buffy may be dead. We find out Frankie's parentage is a mystical one. Her mother Willow is a great witch her father, if you had to describe him, was mystical energy. Frankie has trained as a witch under her mother and now seems she is also a Slayer� Frankie and her best friend Jake who is also Oz's nephew are looking for a way to help all the Slayers including Buffy.
This book takes place after season 7. This history does not follow the same as the comic books it's a whole new take. However, it does have regulars from the series like Willow, Oz, and Spike.
While I don't think this is canon like the Dark Horse comics are this is an interesting way to go. I like the idea of Frankie's parentage. Not sure how I feel about the return of Oz. I like Frankie as a character. The other characters areâ¦okay.
On the downside, I don't feel there was a lot of plot. It was mostly an introduction to the new characters. I also don't feel this book would bring new readers or new fans. I think it would make sense to those of us who have watched the show but confusing to those who have not watched it.
I hope they keep writing books and comics to keep the Buffy the Vampire Slayer series alive. I know there are going to be 2 more books in this series and that there are 2 other prequels out now (one on Spike and the other on Tara). Anything that keeps the series active I will enjoy.
