I did not know what I was getting into with this book beyond it being “weird lit”, but it delivered. The character development is superb, where each one has shades of grey. The plot is weird, which is good! Weird stuff happens! At times the weird stuff is absurdist even, which might be a turn off for some but I loved it. While some of the elaborate plans end up feeling slightly too convenient at times, the book does a good job of setting up satisfying natural conclusions to different conflicts. Dark and deeply affecting.

Dungeon Crawler Carl continues to entertain. Jeff Hayes’ narration is fantastic and I don’t know if I’d connect with the book as well without him. I think I’d like it if Carl and Donut moved through more than one dungeon per book, but Dinniman is really able to flesh out the people who inhabit each level and keep readers engaged with new abilities and new challenges.

the book is fine. Decidedly fine. It is inoffensive, quick reading and yet I couldn’t continue. Life is too short for “find” and especially given that I made it over 300 pages before giving up. But 1100 pages isn’t worth it for a shrug of a book, especially with how many wonderful books exist in the world waiting to be read!

Dungeon Crawler Carl continues to be a fun and satisfying romp. I liked this book more than the 2nd installment, and Dinneman has ways of planting plot devices long before they come in handy, which ultimately makes them much more satisfying. The cast of characters compliment each other well and the heart of the series, Carl not losing his humanity, keeps pulling me along book after book. Glurp on that, friends.
