A Dungeons & Dragons-style dungeon crawl with the wit and imagination of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Will be sure to get you out of a reading slump as it's VERY addicting!

Did we really just start a meth war between the goblins and the llamas?

I really enjoyed this book. It took me a while to read it, which I totally was not expecting, because it is a book that deserves and almost needs to be binge-read. The story somehow checks every single ‘mood-box’ they offer on StoryGraph besides ‘relaxing’. This story is intense, it’s fun, and it’s deserving of a re-read. 

I can’t imagine the kind of dedication it took to have this whole juggle of this game system, inventory, and remembering all the little tid-bitty details, but it had a very cool result. Every so often you would kind of fall into the excitement of the story, and it was so intense when the author had placed Carls dedication to not being broken and loosing himself that felt like being pulled to the surface for a quick breather. 

If you like video games or D&D, and if you are a comedy lover or even a mood reader, pick up this book.
