Carl's Doomsday Scenario

 Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman, 384 pages.

Carl and Princess Donut have reached the third floor of the giant dungeon themed game-show that used to be their planet, and the tutorial levels are over. The billions of people who died so far were just the start, and things only get more dangerous as they reach the Over City, the first of the urban dungeon levels. 

This book is a strong follow-up to Dungeon Crawler Carl, the first book in the series. I am really enjoying watching the seeds being planted that I don't expect to come to fruition for several books yet. This is the kind of series that feels like it has its road-map from the start, and I think it's going to be very satisfying to follow along and see everything come together. This book continues to balance humor and emotional depth in a way I find impressive, and all of the things I loved in the first book are still present in this one. I find these books addictive, and I learned from my last mistake and put the next two on hold at once.
