I loved this continuation of the Dungeon Crawl game show with Carl, Katia, Mongo, and Princess Donut as they try to survive and get to the next level. The story had the perfect balance of humor, love, real life issues, cuteness, danger, machinations, supernatural elements, surprises, and morality. This book continues exactly where the last book left off. Carl, Donut, and Mongo are now of level 4 of the Crawl – the Tangle. They continue to be very popular with the fans, Mordecai continues to assist them, Carl continues to come up with crazy dangerous plans, and Donut continues to be Donut. I loved the interplay between Carl and Princess Donut and that Carl’s character is a sweet, snarky, messy, lucky, sarcastic, kind of dumb, angry, and awkward man who regularly screws up which just makes him a very likeable and relatable hero. I especially love his mantra of “you will not break me.” The story includes what you’d expect from this genre – fighting, dangerous situations, supernatural creatures, evil entities, henchmen, loyal friends, tragic back stories, mystical coincidences, snark, plot twists, and laughs. There was once again some light ethical, moral, and philosophical undercurrents which added to the depth of the story but did not detract from it. I will definitely keep reading the series to see what the next levels are like and what happens with Carl and Princess Donut especially now that Katia is permanently on their team.
