This book is, at the end of it all, like a written relaxing afternoon in a coffee shop. It’s charming and it’s fun. There’s a real time and a place for Legends and Lattes and I’m really glad I found it.

The Kaiju Preservation Society is the latest release from famed SFF author John Scalzi. It is a story about a group of people tasked with preserving kaiju, which are interdimensional, giant flying creatures (I picture a cross between a dragon and a dinosaur). I got Avatar-meets-Jurassic Park vibes from this book. It was an enjoyable read.
