As a Buffy fan, offcourse when I saw the title I literally ran to get the book from netgalley to read!
So Buffy universe poetry sounded like a nice stroll down memory lane.
The poems were interesting, though the poetry style took some time for me to get into. It touched on themes that I could relate to when I was younger, and some that still resonate.
It always amazes me how people create :)

This was a really interesting read, I enjoyed the use of Buffy and thought it worked with what Kim Malinowski was going for. I was engaged with what I was reading and loved the artwork overall.

Self loathing, lack of confidence, body dysmorphia and bloody stakes. What else could you need?
This book is freeverse poetry inspired by BTVS but with real life issues.
Do you like what you see in the mirror?

I love Buffy and I enjoy poetry so I was amazed something like this even exists! Kudos for putting the whole thing together, but I ended up just not getting into it. I just couldn't sink my teeth into it...? It wasn't for me, but I'm happy this little book exists.

I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are my own opinions.

This book of poetry really hit home with me. First, I am a massive Buffy and Spike Fan as I have been for the last 20 years. If it's Buffy-ish, I want it.

Secondly, the poems remind me of all the years I used Buffy as an escape. I am bigger and cam relate to mane if the poems. Really, this book represents my joy and my shame. Switch of the Boot is my favorite poem.

FYI, my brain reads the poems in Drusilla's voice.

I couldn't really get into the poetry style, but I did enjoy the exploration of Buffy through poetry.

This was a fun and easy read, even if at times it did feel like Spike x Y/N fanfiction. As a Buffy fan I loved all the references, even if all the poems weren't my thing.

Thank you NetGalley for the ARC!

Aa a fan of both poetry and Buffy the Vampire Slayer I really enjoyed reading this collection of poetry!

As a Buffy the Vampire slayer super fan, I just had to read this collection of poetry. The poetry itself deals with questions of body image and romance, and it is an excellent blend of known characters and imagery from the cult classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer, as well as fun house mirrors.

Included throughout the collection is an incredible selection of artwork from Gabby Gilliam, that really brings the poetry to another level.

This collection of poetry is perfect for that very niche group of individuals that enjoy both Buffy the Vampire Slayer and poetry, and I highly recommend you give this a shot if that sounds like you.

Big thanks to Netgalley, Querencia Press, and the author Kim Malinowski, for allowing me to read a copy of this E-Arc.

An interesting collection of poetry inspired by the world of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, with reflections on one's self, and reflections as the characters, with emphasis on body image and the distortion that it brings to the mind.
