Title: More about India Cohen and past slayers, please, Ms. Holder
Review: There are four Slayers running around in Nancy Holder's "The Book of Fours," but the really interesting one is not Buffy, Faith or Kendra, but rather the "new" one: Buffy's predecessor. If the focus had been more on India Cohen, or even exclusively, this would have been a really first-rate Vampire Slayer novel. But there ends up being way too much going on in this story. Then again, one of the things that makes Holder stand out as a writer of Buffy stories is that she continues to use the people and places you creates (e.g., the Ghostroads), so hopefully there will be some more on India down the road. They already proved in the Spike & Dru novel that stories about past Slayers can work, so let's just keep our fingers crossed on this one. "The Book of Fours" is not a great Buffy novel, but it is certainly above average.
