Carl has a lawyer (and he probably needs one at this point)! Donut’s class choices remain hilarious, but this one goes overboard, and I love it.
This floor introduces the hunters, which Carl has big plans for, and it’s awesome. It just brings the universe into Carl’s world, which doesn’t go well for anyone. Samantha is INCREDIBLE.
Spoiler
The scene with Donut and Beatrice is incredible. Good for Donut!
We got a ton of Miriam Dom and Propotente, who are both extremely interesting characters. The variation in the other characters that are along for the crawl is so great, and I really enjoy getting to know them (and their classes, moves, how they battle, etc).
Spoiler
That vampire scene with them where Miriam Dom dies was actually really sad. I felt super bad for Prepotente here.
We also got the guild system, and Carl buffing the ever loving shit out of his Ring of Devine Suffering, and an absolutely chaotic final battle in the Butcher’s Masquerade. A lot of interesting politics in this one as well. The AI is also becoming a little more unpredictable, which is such a great addition.
Carl and Donut are going to be in faction wars, which adds an interesting twist.
Spoiler
Katia finally getting her Eva revenge was dope, BUT EVA DROPPING THE CROWN ON KATIA’S HEAD BEFORE SHE DIED?! WTF?!
ALSO WHAT DID PREPOTENTE JUST DO?!
I’m so hooked, and I’m going to be so sad when I run out of books.
