Week 10 - Again by Jane Espenson

[Foxy]

There we are! The final story of this book and my favourite story of all. I hope you all enjoyed this book club and finally apologies about the frequent delays. I did have a lot of fun doing this. Next time I will just upload everything in one go

So, final tally. Rank all the stories to favourite to least favourite. Please elaborate!
What did you think of this story?
What did you think of this book in its entirety?
If you had to grade the book 1 to 10 (10 being the best) what would you give it? Why?

Thank you all for putting up with me. I liked it the most when we disagreed...and we did that often enough!

Have fun discussing the final story

I have chosen not to elaborate on the reasons for my list order because I feel that I would just be repeating my previous posts. ☺️

This story, Again, was one of my favorites as you can see from my list. I really think this last story is far superior to the first. Both are about the scoobies we all know but Jane Espenson writes BTVS so well that the two stories don’t even compare. This story feels true to the source material, I think because the author worked on the show and knows the characters so well.

Overall, I would give Tales of the Slayer vol. 2 a 6/10 because I liked more of the stories than I disliked but if I were recommending it to a friend, I would suggest they skip the last four stories as I have ranked them because I didn’t enjoy those and some of them were hard to finish. I’m happy to have finally finished this book though.

@Foxy I'm curious to see your list order and know what you thought of the last few stories if you get a chance to share. I’m sorry it took me a year to post these.
