You will not break him
This entry to Dungeon Crawler Carl series is easily my favorite so far! Even though the Iron Tangle confused me to no end (and thank god that was actually intentional because I was starting to feel so stupid, haha) the payoff was completely worth it.
What really sold this one for me was the incredible character development. Honestly, when Katia was introduced in the last book, I wasn't really convinced I'd enjoy having her around. But I'm so glad everything changed here; she has officially become my new favorite right alongside Carl, Donut, and Mordecai.
It was also awesome meeting so many of the other wild and varied characters that make this series great, like Imani, Ellie, and Batista. And oh man, that brief appearance by Prepotente? Absolute comedic gold. Matt Dinniman absolutely nailed it with this one!
