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.

    It was a nice quick read with short enough chapters that I could down one on a coffee break. Lot of current day humor that won’t hold up in 20 years though. I’d recommend it to my meme chugging millennial buddies but prob not my mom.
