Read it recently, somewhat influenced by a post about John Scalzi on the sub, just wanted to share my thoughts and ask what you guys thought.
Minor spoilers ahead.
My opinion about the book wavered as I read it. It went somewhat like this
- Covid setup, cringe
- Oh, secret society, Kaiju, cool
- Why do these guys constantly bitch with each other like they are kids from Stranger Things?
- Chill, everyone is a megachad and bad guys get fucked
- The culmination, meh, nothing original
And then I read the author’s notes about the book and realized that this was my favorite part.
I really enjoyed it, especially after reading the author notes. It’s obviously not a “great literary work” but it’s a good quick bit of fun.
