One of my favorite "Buffy" books by the best authors in the series of books based off the TV show. One thing I really enjoyed is that it does focus on Willow, and it manages to even go beyond the famous Angel/Buffy relationship; it centers around the three friends of Willow, Xander, and Buffy and the impact the situation makes on the three of them. It pits them against each other, and they must literally fight for their friendship to survive. These are the kind of stories I would like to see more of because I am a big fan of the three of them :) The Japanese lore was a nice touch, also. I think this would've worked even better as an adult novel.
