The book series has a good mix of drama, action, and laughs. This book 4 was a little less so than the others. I believe it is related to the battle format of dungeon level. If I could change one thing, it would be the fixation on the main character cursing a large part of his dialogue. Cursing does not normally even register in my consciousness; I’ve used plenty. But gd after gd after gd; is just obsessing and distracting. Dude, pick up an urban dictionary and learn some new lines.
