Ooh, tough call! I’m leaning Ninth House but I don’t think there are wrong choices there. Should be fun!
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I’m leaning Six of Crows but I also really loved The Familiar, but there is not another stand alone to go with it.

I vote Ninth House, but I haven't read the others.

Six of crows kind of has a place in my heart because it has a delicious disabled character in it.
