![]() ![]() ![]() This comes in a solid five stars even as things turn a bit darker for the series. There's some serious ju-jitsu in this one with Carl wrecking things the aliens didn't know were on the table and I just loved every minute of that. He's using all the hints and foreshadowing the dungeon has been throwing out to turn things on those exploiting his planet for entertainment. This book is a continuation of the pivot to the more serious as Carl starts deliberately sabotaging the game itself. ![]() And I particularly enjoyed how Donut was as much a part of their turn around as Carl.Īnd I seriously liked Carl turning the doomsday plot device on its head and using it as a tool just like any other. I liked that the coasting losers he runs into responded with some backbone and gained enough functionality to turn themselves around-and be useful for the plans and plots Carl and Donut made. I kind of liked how it worked this time out, though. ![]() Plus, it looks like the System went for level averaging, so the others in our team's space are under-leveled and some have been coasting.Ī running theme has been Carl's determination to save as many as he can for the next level "because it's right", sometimes jeopardizing his own chances and taking very real risks to do so. Which means Carl and Donut have to work with the tools at hand. This time, the survivors are all split up into different bubbles. This is fourth in the series that you should really read in order for full impact. ![]()
