Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman
adventurous
funny
lighthearted
fast-paced
4.5
This is the second installment in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series of LitRPG novels by Matt Dinniman. Like the first, this book is lots of fun and details the exploits of Carl - a rapidly-learning explosives expert - and his friends, Princess Donut - a Persian Cat turned charming sorceress - and Mongo - Princess Donut's pet velociraptor.
We learn more about just how the dungeon works and some of the behind-the-scenes shenanigans in this second installment. This, combined with some good character development and a fun plotline, made Carl's Doomsday Scenario another great, easy read.
If you're a fan of a bit of fun, absurdist fantasy, this could be for you! The scenarios in this series often remind me of 1970s and 1980s pulpy sword and sorcery stories with a great sense of humour mixed in.
