Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman
3.0
adventurous dark funny fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Pretty solid. Again, the humour just works, despite being low brow and raunchy, and typically not my thing. It picks up right where the last left off, which was a bit of a cliffhanger, and so this one ends in likewise fashion. 

The themes are also pretty solid, though, as you’d expect, not heavy, but ever present. There’s a bit more character development, their relationship gets organically deeper. 

I do think, as incredibly pacy and fun it is, the development of the world building did make it feel like not all that much happened; but all of it was super fun, and I’m already excited to find out what’s going to happen on the next floor and how certain things established will play out. Good times.
