If it says Buffyverse on it I’ll love it. So no surprise I do.
The thing is it’s more then Buffy. Obviously I love Faith, Buffy, Oz, Harmony, Clem and Chao-Ahn’s appearances. But Nina and Artemis’ story is so good too.
White’s handle on Irish stuff is better than the first one. There is only one innit from Irish lips this time. There’s some things that are annoying:
She talks about them needing A Levels to go to college. It’s the Leaving Cert here.
The Guards are always called “the local police” even by Irish people.
The fact they are not far from Dublin and she says “some airport” is just poor use of Google maps. Dublin airport is the main, biggest airport in this country.
I liked the increased use of grand.
I hope she writes more. I really want to know what happens to Sanctuary when the new seed of magic comes, the new laws of magic too.
And what happens to Nina and her extra darkness when Buffy drains the Slayer power to empower herself in season 11.
And then what happens after that and the restructuring of the Slayers after the Reckoning.
But if she does write more she needs to get an Irish editor who can help iron out and catch those small issues that are not such a big deal for people not from Ireland but that ruin it for people from here; especially when the things she mistakes assumes Ireland and the UK are the same. We’ve had enough of that without my favourite intellectual property doing the same thing.
