It read a lot like a BtVS fanfiction but the world building does hold promise. I could almost feel the author bursting at the seams, wanting to tell the story all at once, because she does go off tangent frequently (with all the "but I would learn that later on" funk). Sometimes it distracts, sometimes its fine.Will put off reading the second book for a while, not terribly curious as to what Buffy, er MacKayla, would be up against next.
