Good story, though not great. It's filled with lots of techie-speak and references. I am sure it would be loved by someone who's into it. They'd surely love it. It was lost on me and would sometimes distract. I could tell he was making a joke, but I wasn't in on it. I guess I wasn't the target audience, inspire of loving Lovecraftian stories, which this clearly is. 3.5 stars.

Didn't enjoy this as much as Jennifer morgue. I kept forgetting who the subsidiary characters were and I found the plot a bit confusing. Plus too much horror for me and not enough of Pinky and Brains.

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.
