Themes: Humor, Science Fiction, A Series, Lots of Swearing & Gore

This series is so ridiculous and absurd and, -checks notes- oh, sorry that‘s the state of the world we‘re living in, this series is beyond entertaining!! I shouldn‘t like it because I hate unnecessary swearing and gore but it works and I‘m going to continue reading the rest of Matt Dinniman‘s wacky series 🤪

I'm finding this strangely comforting in the dumpster fire of today's socio-political climate. Carl is fighting the system by staying true to his values and building community which is inspiring. Things are absolutely over the top and kind of gory but I'm having a good time seeing Carl, Donut and their team try to figure out how to survive the weird things that are thrown at them.

The way this book series has such a hold on me is absolutely electrifying! 💕📖 I'm obsessed!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wow!!! These books keep getting funnier and sillier and just plain wild and crazy! I‘m in love with my characters so much. This level has been explosive! The crazy train from Hell and the tangle has been the most fun yet.

I can‘t wait to see where Carl and Donut end up next and what havoc they reap.

3.5/4 ⭐️
Jeff Hayes is still brilliant. I still love Princess Donut, but I didn‘t like this level as much. Mordechai was mostly missing and when he was around he was this weird froglike thing with a weird croaky thing going on. The tangle also confused me. Still a pick though!

Another fun romp with Carl & Princess Donut. This one isn‘t quite as good as books 1 & 2, it‘s last third is just bonkers and at times confusing. Still a very fun read. 4⭐️

The 3rd book in this crazy, gross and strangely heart-warming series finds Carl & Princess Donut fighting to survive the 4th floor, a convoluted system of trains called the Iron Tangle. The layout was incomprehensible, but the team ups and betrayals kept things interesting. While the powers outside the dungeon continue to manipulate the game and its players, Carl now has a secret edge in his efforts to beat the system. Looking forward to book 4!

Level 4 takes Carl and Donut to the Iron Tangle, a mess of subways and stations that push the endurance of all of the crawlers.
By chance, the Dungeon Anarchist‘s Cookbook, a compilation of experiences and tips collected by crawlers who had the book in past dungeons, finds it way to Carl. He reads it in secret and uses what he can to help get his allies through to the next level. He also starts plotting to bring the whole system down.

This book was still an amazing book, but to me it wasn't as great as the first two in the series. This book just felt too much like the first book, except with the addition of trains. Plus Donut came off a bit more drier than the first two.

All together, I still loved the book and will be picking up the next in the series as soon as my next Audible credit drops in.
