peter_xxx's review against another edition
4.0
The third book in [a:Charles Stross|8794|Charles Stross|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1355510574p2/8794.jpg]'s laundry series. And his best so far. The humor is funnier then in the previous books, the pacing is better and the horror is still quite unnerving.
I worked out the big reveals out way in advance, but I have a feeling that you are supposed to.
For people not familiar with this series. Imagine a combination of spy thriller, lovecraftian horror, humor and the frustration we all feel when dealing with large government organizations.
I will not tell anything about the plot, because even the slightest hint might be a spoiler.

Honestly, the best so far, the pacing feels much better, the default 'style' or plot feels more in accordance to the setting, and the nerd references are as good as always.

Less fun, more grisly and not the thing to read on a grey rainy day. Probably wouldn't be fun in the sun, either.

Review from the reread:
This is the where things start firing on all cylinders for this series. The wit and charm are still there, but the story here is tighter and more focused
