My biggest complaint is I want the next one now!

It was a good entry in this series of lovecraftian horror plus secret spy agency novels, but the start of the series had a lot more fun and whimsy in it. I think with the stakes being raised so much in this one, the tone is going to be more serious because of it. The way the heroes prevail and save the day sets up the next book where I'm genuinely curious to see how the author moves the world forward.
This is easily my favorite book in the Laundry Files so far, which is interesting because in many ways it is very different from the preceding volumes. Bob Howard is back, and the Laundry faces its greatest threat yet: privatization of government services.
