Binsk reviewed A Conventional Boy by Charles Stross (The Laundry Files, #7)
Had Promise, but Faded Away
3 stars
I enjoyed the premise of the book, and it started out very entertaining. Having played D&D during the Satanic Panic, there were a lot of callbacks to that time that rang true. As the novel progressed, however, the action became vaguer and hand-wavey. By the time of the climax of the action, no tension was left in the plot. You knew everything was going to be fine, it was, and ... what a letdown.
