The second installment of the Dungeon Crawler Carl series took us on an adventure through the third level of the Borant Corporation's Earth-wide life-or-death game. Carl and Princess Donut find themselves on a floor with civilization- opportunities to purchase upgrades and equipment from merchants, and by interacting with the local NPCs, obtain quests. They also get to choose their race and class, that will define them and their abilities for the remainder of their time in the dungeon.
I enjoyed this book well enough. Not as laugh out loud funny to me as the first, but some of that is to be expected as the series continues and the stakes get increasing higher. I preferred the second quest to the first, and wish it had been given the same amount of time and attention, instead of feeling a bit rushed. Carl's setting himself up to be a major player not just in the game, but outside of it as well, and I'm looking forward to seeing how that part of the story progresses.
