I am very lucky- my wife’s sister married an awesome guy that I really enjoy hanging out with. We play D&D weekly and talk books all the time. My brother-in-law suggested I read There Is No Antimemetics Division this book years ago when it was self published because he really enjoyed it, but I never got around to reading it because I was busy with other books. When it got picked up by a traditional publisher, I requested an eARC from the publisher and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book was interesting. It was in essence about a shadowy government organization fighting Eldritch horrors that cannot be perceived. Although it felt very well written on the sentence and paragraph level, with some delightful and haunting language, the characters all fell flat for me, and since I didn’t care about them, it was hard to care about or follow what was happening. I can see why my brother-in-law liked this, but it just wasn’t really for me.
