How are these books getting BETTER?

So, like, book 5 of a series, you expect things to slow down. You expect things to settle in. You expect a status quo.
Hahahahaha! The dungeon laughs at your idiot ideas, then kills your mother.
If the dungeon doesn’t throw everything upside down, then Carl will. If he doesn’t wreck enough stuff, Donut comes in from left field to drop a plot twist. And also there’s the gonnahrea. Thats also gonna throw everything upside down.
You do NOT want that dungeon gonnahrea.
