adventurous dark funny lighthearted relaxing fast-paced

4.0

I got a bit tired of all the fighting and grinding at first, but things got picked up quite nicely with the introduction with quests, that were not exactly what I would have expected (to put it mildly).
I was going to take a break after this one, but no way, now I want to know what the hell level four is about.

Much as I like the patter and pace of these books, this second book in the series has me feeling quite let down. At its core it's basically misogynistic crap and poor taste jokes about genitals. Princess Donut is true to form, but she's always been a gimmick.

I love the idea of a harm or heal spell being used on an undead Boss, and that was really cool. 

Basically a whodunnit plotline could have more clues and fewer piles of dehumanised dead "ladies of the night". What a ghastly idea for a quest.

Yeah I'm not going to bother with the third book unless someone can really change my mind and tell me that the tone picks up. I am not an edgy 14 year old boy any more.. and this doesn't amuse me.

It was still interesting but I think I enjoyed the first book more overall. It got a little creepy/dark there towards the end and I’m not convinced it was necessary. I was really hoping we were going to tackle more in this book than we did since the first one covered earth, level 1, and level 2. Anyways, I anticipate continuing the series.
