Best so far

5 stars

We've been referencing gods and feral creatures for much of the series so far so it was cool to see it in practice.

Carl's toolbox is becoming more well defined. Glad to see some party changes. Looking forward to the next one!

Mostly more of the same, but a decent mix of the fantasy D&D dungeon crawl and the sci-fi external setting and plotline.

Definitely an enjoyable/fun read and very addictive.

Donut is still a cat. I was a bit worried Carl would be a bit one dimensional but I'm warming up to him now. Excited to see what the story with the AI is going to be.

Fun, great audio adaptation

4 stars

I'm not sure how this series passed me by. A friend recommended it as "pretty fun" - it definitely pushes a lot of my buttons.

It also helps that Princess Donut is a great character (and a cat).

If you enjoyed the dungeon / adventure parts of Ready Player One, this book is that on steroids. Achievements, social media, megacorps, classes, D&D abilities, loot, and way more.

I will say that this book is mostly world building and doesn't progress a real storyline particularly far. I've withheld a star for that - hopefully the rest of the series delivers an engaging plot. If they end up being this book repeated I think I would lose interest quickly.

The audio adaptation has had a load of effort put into it, and even though certain bits (game text, achievement popups) can be a bit repetitive, it really worked.
