Did I need some fresh fluff after a bunch of non-fiction reading? Yes I did. This was fun. Fun fluff. You don't need to know a lot of HP Lovecraft lore to get the references here. Listened via Hoopla.

Solidly interesting, I really liked the character of Carter and his total down-to-earth-ness. Who doesn't want an omelette after surviving the end of the world?

Emily Lovecraft felt more like an attempt to counter Lovecraft's racist and misogynist legacy than a living, breathing African-American woman, but I can't object to the sentiment. Here's hoping she develops more complexity and realism in book two.

I liked this. It was very weird, and scratched a good lovecraftian itch while it also poked a bit of fun at Lovecraft's many issues.

I read this because I love Ari Fliakos as a narrator. I don’t normally read sci-fi. It was enjoyable, but I don’t think it’s the genre for me. I did like the characters and the math/science twist of the story.
