KC’s Reviews > The Butcher's Masquerade > Status Update

I’m having a bit of a hard time with this one. The pacing feels off, having gotten through a quarter and feeling like Carl and Donut haven’t gotten anywhere. I appreciate the concurrent storylines, but the political drama feels overwhelming when I want to get back into the absurd fighting and goofiness of the game itself. It seems a lot more complicated than the earlier books, which at times feels burdensome.

A great start to book 5, and I’m excited to see what trouble Carl and Donut get themselves into. This bard class is definitely setting them up for some stupidly fun scenarios and I think the hunters will really bring the heat.
