I looked it up and it made me laugh because the author has apparently added a blurb telling their fans to please skip the book.

I don't remember that, but I do remember that the dedication begs his mother to skip reading the series. I get the impression that Matt Dinniman is one of those Gen Xers who got brainpoisoned by goupy horror movies and that Kaiju Battlefield Surgeon was his way of channeling it into something productive. Seemed like a good book, but way too gross for me to finish.

I've heard that Dinniman's Dominion of Blades is supposed to be decent, although I've not read it mself.

Going through the Penguin version of the Night Watch stories in Discworld. Are there any other audiobooks that aren’t Discworld where the narrator does different voices for the characters well?

Fantasy/sci-fi, in case you want a genre.

I'm now on book 5, I can't believe how fast I went from "oh this is cute and silly fun," to "Wait is this actually good?"

For me, the Hoarder was the tipping point where the book went from merely interesting to excellent. What an amazingly hosed up and poignant setpiece.
