‘Every plant touched with the spell is transformed into a thick, impenetrable ten-meter-high wall of thorn-covered vines that will undulate and thrust and attack.’

Oh no, they’re undulating, everybody run!

‘As Donut turned up the light, body pieces scattered away like cockroaches, roiling and undulating unnaturally.’

There’s an amazing sentence on this page that you would never encounter anywhere else. I would love to share it but it’s chock full of spoilers.

Instead let me simply offer those who have yet tried Dungeon Crawler Carl a part of what you’re missing: the Arrow of Enthusiastic Double Gonorrhea.

Jesus Christ, Carl.

‘Nadine the caterpillar zoomed ahead, undulating as she disappeared into the jungle.’

‘The claws undulated up and down, almost like the raptor was drumming its fingers on a table.’

I'm on the second page and it's so fucking good.

Did you hear me, I said IT'S SO FUCKING GOOD. I AM SO FUCKING STOKED RIGHT NOW.

Only 10 pages left but I predict we can fit one more mention of moosehide boots in before the end.

‘The oily sky-swimmer passed overhead again. Sarkis was reminded of the manta rays that swam in the Bay of Sandweight, the same undulating motion.’

‘He had an intense urge to rush over and cover her breasts. Possibly with his face.’

This is marvellously good. There’s a pet bird who says things like, “Into the pit, the pit, the black pit, when the souls scream and the worms coil…”

In the prior book, I noted that the MC’s boots were constantly specified as “hobnailed.” This time they are frequently specified as “moosehide”, at least 4 times so fat. I guess they’re hobnailed moosehide boots.

‘And so Gleeth slept, and the light of his silvery crescent swept down and pointed a path right across the Primal Land. Five ships of Shad sailed that silvery swath on the Eastern Ocean, where now they crossed into the straits of Yhem; and in the stern of the fifth, there sat Tarra Khash alone with his thoughts.’

Love the alliteration.
