Toot

I recently read @cstross 's new short novel 'A Conventional Boy'. It was fine, although maybe not the first book to start the Laundry series with.

There were some things which I didn't care that much for, though booth babes being just that was mostly a glamour. Still the description was a bit jarring. There were some cringey moments, but many of those were because I have played quite a bit of AD&D back in the day (though mostly 2e).

The last two thirds were better than the beginning in my opinion.

Not bad, recommended if you're into urban horror or RPGs, but many people know the series already.

(Also the Laundry world seems to have slightly different AD&D 1e than we did, or Dereks's group had some house rules. Which wasn't that uncommon with AD&D. :) )

2/2
