Ever since Accelerando blew my young mind, I've been a huge Stross fan. But I put off reading Laundry Files books (Jennifer Morgue being the second) thinking they weren't in genre for me, wouldn't be my thing.
Wow was I wrong. The spy x demonologist x hacker combo just gives Stross more rope to play around with, and is full of fun eccentricities. A strong Anti-Memetics Division vibe. Would recommend.
- selimthegrim 3y agoWith the exception of the unicorn story which a lot of people found problematic for its treatment of children, I think the laundry files are pretty good
- reisse 3y agoFirst three or maybe four books are good, then characters start to outgrow the author, as it usually happens. It's good that at some point cstross rebooted the series with a new setting and the new heroes, bad that Bob et al didn't get a proper ending.
- spauldo 3y agoCharlie's commented about that before. Last I heard he's planning to come back around and give the Laundry series a proper ending once he's done with the New Management novels.
