A review by chefkay
The Kaiju Preservation Society by John Scalzi
4.0
3.75 stars!
I love a monster story, the build up to getting the job, going to the world and finding out about their existence is always my favourite part. This one had sorta lower stakes as Kaiju are so big that they’re almost not actually scary. But it retained all the fun, mystery and discovery of a monster book to be fair.
This book had a lot of humour and fun little details, I enjoyed the world but didn’t care too much for the characters.
The negatives with this one really are just around the ending, it became action movie vibes which makes sense but doesn’t work for me personally.
Would recommend, a light, fun read.
