Book Review: Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman

Carl’s Doomsday Scenario was a ton of fun, and if you liked Dungeon Crawler Carl, you will want to continue to series.

The characters continue to develop, and my attachment to them continues to evolve. I highly recommend these books, and I’m excited to get into the next one soon.
