Fun, creepy art, but quickly lost its originality from chapter to chapter.

Not amongst my favorite Discworld books. Sourcery has some great moments, but overall feels a bit disjointed.

There were some really fun parts in this book, but other times it dragged on a bit.

After the excellent book that came before it, I found The Labyrinth Index to be a bit of a let down. Clearly others love it, and I'm no book critic; so this is likely a case of "it's not you, book, it's me". That said, I still liked it, and as always with the Laundry Files, I can't wait to read what happens next.

The stakes have been raised! The consequences are large. Old friends and enemies are back and the future is very unclear. A solid entry in the Laundry Files.

My wife and I read this together, taking turns reading aloud. If not for our mutual shock and awe at how not-for-us the book was, I wouldn't have been able to finish it. We laughed at the writing, and snuck in (what should have been) ridiculous embellishments to see if the other would catch it ("Wait, does it really say that?!") This made it all the better (or worse) when the answer was, "Yes, it's really in the book. Look!" (For those who might take pause, I assure you after a beat any unnoticed embellishments were revealed by the current reader before proceeding.)
Neither of us reads modern "cozy" murder mysteries, so maybe we're lacking the experience or context required to appreciate a book like this. I'm told the series gets better, but so far the first third of the next book (we're trying to give the first three a …

Neither of us reads modern "cozy" murder mysteries, so maybe we're lacking the experience or context required to appreciate a book like this. I'm told the series gets better, but so far the first third of the next book (we're trying to give the first three a chance due to receiving them as a gift) doubles down on the worst aspects of the first book.
Cheers to all of those who enjoy the series. And hugs to all of those as traumatized by this book as we were.
