One of the bestAn amazing mix of excellent characterization, thrilling world building and unbelievable action. Nice and long to. Totally worth your time.
Exactly what I feared. The authors idea to make each book a long read about one floor of an 18 floor dungeon makes this an extremely tedious read. You can summarize the few hundred pages I read into 'Train system confusing, what do we do?!'. The self sacrificing "I know this plan is fucking stupid but no other plan risks my life like this" increasingly idiotic and irrational protagonist somehow manages to makes this boring entry even worse.The 5 star bots who write the exact same review forevery...
Still very well written and I like the characters, but this one didn't really work for me. The book gave me the feeling of running on a treadmill and never really getting anywhere. I understand the intent, but I found it tedious to read about all of the trains, lines, stations which detracted from my enjoyment. The author goes so far as to say that you don't need to understand the floor, trains, etc. but if so, why bother to put so much effort into them? Hopefully the next one will work better a...
As with the first two books, the story, pacing and overall plot is great. Really enjoyed the overall idea as well as the continued progress of Carl and Donut.The three stars is because I felt the subway setting was just too complex to keep track of. The author did his best to explain it via words, but I never really understood the layout or how the various components fit together. I still enjoyed the book overall, but just couldn't wrap my head around that part of the story. (which is, unfortuna...
Okay, I've a problem now. It's not july, so that I can read the next part. Outragous!So in short: I love this book and its characters! Go Donut!
The best book so far! Carl, Princess Donut and her sidekick Mongo face the toughest floor yet. The Iron Tangle. The world's subway and train systems have all been jumbled up and linked together into a dungeon of massive and utterly confusing proportions. Navigating the way to the stairs down to the next level in only 8 days will be nearly impossible. Doing so in boxers, with a scrappy sentient cat and her dinosaur pet is just downright epic! Once again, I grabbed up the audio for this book and e...
Dungeon Crawler Carl is a fantastic series and shows Dinniman at the height of his game. It's engaging, fast-paced, and manages to sucker-punch you with unexpected empathy for the characters at key moments. Dinniman also managed to inject a lot of humor into this series that helps balance the more serious and darker aspects of his usual style. I can't recommend this series enough and am eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Alert First, my review, then it’s time for a new copypasta: “This was a fun book. I am glad that I read it. You should try it too.” I am not a bot even though my reviews are identical. Of course, that is what a bot would say trying to pass itself off as human. But I would argue that trying to pass as human is enough to at least qualify as a reviewer. I enjoyed this book, so my goal is to promote it and help the author. I am not going to share my reasoning, thoughts on the book, or any opinion...
Another great one, although it slogged at one part pretty badly but it pulled through. Really enjoying the progression in each book. Slowly getting a larger picture of the puppet master and the universe.
Princess Donut supremacy! She and Carl are just the perfect duo and things only get better with the addition of Katya. Hopefully there's more Mordecai in the next one!This series continues to have the most engaging audio performance I've ever heard. Jeff Hays is a master.
