Read it recently, somewhat influenced by a post about John Scalzi on the sub, just wanted to share my thoughts and ask what you guys thought.

Minor spoilers ahead.

My opinion about the book wavered as I read it. It went somewhat like this

• Covid setup, cringe
• Oh, secret society, Kaiju, cool
• Why do these guys constantly bitch with each other like they are kids from Stranger Things?
• Chill, everyone is a megachad and bad guys get fucked
• The culmination, meh, nothing original

And then I read the author’s notes about the book and realized that this was my favorite part.
