A review by feoh
Escape from Yokai Land by Charles Stross
5.0
I think it's important to expectation set for my review of this book. This Novella does NOT have the gravitas of a Laundry Files classic like _The Atrocity Archives_. It is a fun romp through a Sanrio themed fantasy land with a deliciously dark and demonic character only Stross can provide.
This most definitely shouldn't be your first journey into the Laundry Files universe. For that I suggest starting at the beginning.
Those things out of the way, this novella was a heck of a lot of fun. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The little bits of quirky humor aimed squarely at both fans of the series and anime fans/Japanese culture fans are spot on.
Not every meal you eat needs to be a 5 star Michelin experience. Sometimes a tasty plate of shawarma or even a burger and fries can be good for the soul :)
