I loved this book. It was honestly so funny and it was refreshing to read. Princess Donut adds to the comedy while still being fun and their relationship is great. I like Mordecai and feel like Odette is up to something. I’m wondering if they’ll run back into Meadow Lark or not. Super intrigued to see what happens with the secret shopping cart. Hopefully a fun new class choice and some skills in book 2!!!

I really enjoyed this! At first, I thought it might be aimed at a younger audience, but it actually tackles some dark, complex themes.

The story has a clear dungeon crawler feel, and anyone familiar with RPGs will recognize the parallels. The action is fun and fast-paced, with battles that often come with moral dilemmas, adding emotional depth. I could easily see this adapted into an adult animated series with minimal changes.

While I'm unsure if it will have a happy ending, it feels like it’s setting up for a tragic one. However, with many books in the series, that likely won’t happen anytime soon. I'm excited to keep reading!
