Dungeon Crawler Carl - Matt Dinniman
★★★☆☆
I had hoped to like this book more than I did, I really, REALLY wanted to like it,
but it just did not hit for me. I found the humour a bit corny, the story
repetitive, and I felt the more serious and dark moments were a little too forced.
It was fine enough, but I felt myself getting really bored with it around 60% in,
just hoping it would end soon.
The overarching plot of the whole alien corporation stuff did not appeal to me AT
ALL. I did not find any of the behind-the-scenes of the tv shows and corps in charge
worth my time, it was a case of "okay... and?" whenever the beef between corps got
described to me.
I see why people like this book, it's not a BAD book, it's just... a book. I don't
think I will be continuing the series, because I cannot stand the idea of more
descriptions of "I fought this, leveled up, opened loot boxes, corny achievements,
boss battle, rinse and repeat" for even one more book, let alone 5 or however many
there are now
The Will of the Many - James Islington

This one was an easy 5★, I enjoyed every moment of it. The pacing was fast, but I
liked it that way. If I checked out for even 3 pages, I would be confused as to what
happened, and I looooved that. The magic system is incredibly well done, and I liked
that the setting was more than just the academy. And I adored our main character in
this, he's complicated, kind of morally gray, and just overall very very interesting
to follow. Very excited to jump into book 2 of this series.
