The controversial topics aside, Laymon's writing is so immediate, so refreshing, so engaging. In Albert, Laymon has created a proper wrong 'un and I'm cautiously looking forward to turning more pages to find out what he's up to.

I'm assuming the story will kick in soon. We have a bit of foreshadowing for future books but this book really is DCC Book 1.5. I'm so torn. I love the characters, the setpieces, the violence and the humour but the story is still nothing really more than 'we need to get to the final level' There's minimal meat added to that premise.

I'm still enjoying this but it really does need to do something to add some story. It's holding my attention and I'm just about to start an intriguing new sidequest to track down who is killing prostitutes. There's a lot to like here (if you ignore the whiff of misogyny) but I hope things pick up soon. I have the other six books ready to go. 😆

Still finding Book 2 more of the same. It's an enjoyable read but light on story. The characterisations are great as are the setpieces but the main story hasn't really developed as yet. Seems it's a case of getting to the last level. I'm sure things will be shaken up soon enough. I hope so, I have a pile of DCC books in front me. 😆

A solid start but it really is more of the same.

Carl seems to know things about Borant that the reader isn't privy to. How is he confident they penny pinch? Why is he so confident that Donut and himself are so valuable?

This is an enjoyable read. The world building is superb as are most of the characters. The foreshadowing for future levels/books has me hooked. I'm just irked by the convenient way Carl seems to kill off enemies...lob bomb = win

As much as I'm enjoying this, I'm starting to find it a little repetitive. Unless I'm missing some kind of role-playing 'joke', nearly every boss has been killed by Carl lobbing a bomb into a room.

So many things are being set up. I'm having a great time with this book.

I'm hooked. So far this has been incredibly entertaining. Looks like I'm going to need all 8 books in the series. Yes, I've enjoyed those 88 pages that much. 😆
