Dungeon Desolation by Dakota Krout
2.0
Dakota...I'm so sorry.
It pains me to rate this so low but this book is a flaming dumpster. The scale of conquering tries to go too big, too quickly from book 3 to 4. Things start to make absolutely no sense and become ridiculous.
Though I found Dani rather annoying most of the series, she deserved better than becoming a lowly whining housewife dammit!!! We spent all of book 3 trying to rescue her and now that we have her back, she does NOTHING except be a bitchy housewife to the dungeon for 3/4 of this book. The female representation is crushing. Dani deserved better for everything she's done for Cal and this series.
HOW IS THE BAD GUY SUDDENLY AN ALLY. THIS BOOK MAKES NO SENSE.
Things felt so rushed and again, it feels like the push to move to a bigger scale was way too fast.
Rules for magic set in previous books were repeatedly broken in this book and readers were just supposed to ignore all of that I guess?
Ugh. I LOVE Dakota Krout. I do. But this book was NOT good. It just wasn't. Luckily, there is only one left in this series, and I'm just gonna hope it's a little better than this. (I doubt it though because Cal is making a dungeon inside a dungeon that resembles Earth, and I'm pretty sure that's how the game Eternium in CC comes to be *sigh* can't wait to see what utter nonsense gets us there).
