got about 3/4 through and had to quit. about 1/4-1/3 of the story is topical references from the 2000s.
I love the concept of a freshly sapient creature experiencing the world and going through simple trials like it’s the most important thing in the world. I liked the gods reactions and how the adventure is basically a popcorn flick to them, cheering the little crab on.
that said, not everything has to be an already out of date reference… the audiobook came out this month and it’s already so dated I couldn’t listen to it while trucking. I effectively had a captain America moment of “I understood that reference” throughout the entire book
