The Butcher's Masquerade is a wonderful addition to the series of Dungeon Crawler Carl. To my surprise this book had a sander-lanche style ending, which was nothing short of amazing. This book takes a slightly darker tone than the previous DCC books, finally bringing the horrifying reality of the dungeon world to its pages. Our characters are put in extremely stressful situations, making them lose hope, taking them to the point of breaking.
The book contains many heartbreaking moments, spends time developing the world beyond the dungeon. Introduces complexity with the supposed villains of this story, and somehow manages to be funnier than the books before. The lawyer character is my favorite character in this book even though he appeared only for a very short time.
Matt cinnamon set the standard for the personification of a cat. Donut manages to be ridiculous, incredibly consistent, and wonderfully hilarious at the same time. This is my most favorite DCC book so far, this series just keeps getting better and better.
Kill kill kill!
So good I bought it after I already read it!
I'm one of those that couldn't wait so I read the whole thing as it released on RR. I love this series. It is so good. If you've been along for the ride this far you know what I mean. I'm only sad there isn't more already. Can't wait for the next one!
Going strong even after 5th
The story keeps on improving and you get some surprises that you can't guess and you feel awe sometimes. Looking forward for the next one.
