It's high time for a "Buffy" book, don't you think? The Lost Slayer is a four-part serial novel (aka "we can make you buy four books at three bucks a pop which is a third more dinero than if we stuck these all together in one book, hahaha!") written by my favorite "Buffy" novelist, Christopher Golden. Most of Golden's books are well edited, well plotted, and well characterized. A lot of "Buffy" books have serious problems with characterization, or horribly lame plots, or, worse, the saddest editing ever. Like names that are spelled wrong or facts that aren't actually facts.ANYWAY, this one was good. Buffy and Co. have to fight the god of bats, and along the way Buffy gets sucked into a future that is extraordinarily of the bad. She has to fight to fix the badness as well as figure out how to get back to her present in time to stop herself from making the mistake that leads to this future.
This one has actually been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years; I'm glad I got around to reading it. It's most excellent.
