After leaning into the slightly heavier side of SF with the Interdependency trilogy, Scalzi seems to have settled back into Saturday morning cartoon territory with the Kaiju Preservation Society and then Starter Villain.
Starer Villain is, for my money, a little more memorable and interesting than KPS, despite how much I love the premise of KPS. Starter Villain is light, breezy, and cute. Amusing but not laugh out loud funny, although your results may vary there.
I listened to the audiobook at the gym, and it was perfect for that. So now that I'm done with the book, I guess I don't have to go to the gym anymore.
