Just read through most of this series as I really love the Laundry Files. Anyway this one differs a lot but is still a sci-fi series and focuses on the exploitation of economies between three alternate earths. So a quick run down.

The main con is that the main character is just fucking awful for at least the first 3-4 books. I can't suspend my disbelief at the capability she had going from essentially a tech blog writer to outsmarting career KGB agents (essentially) with magical powers in a span of less than 30 days.
On the plus side all of the secondary characters are great and the setting/world building is also fantastic.It does delve into the known economic problems of mercantilism as the three earths are like this:
On the plus side all of the secondary characters are great and the setting/world building is also fantastic.It does delve into the known economic problems of mercantilism as the three earths are like this:
- Our Earth.
- Other Side- America but with Medieval kingdoms and feudal society. They first discovered the ability to exploit our earth and until recently (past 200 years) their America and ours were very similar. Then we had a super technological boom and they steal stuff here/smuggle drugs where they can never get caught and use these fund acquired as high end luxuries/etc to sell in their world.
- Far Side - America but with some Steampunk going on.
