I am in love with this series and though I am relieved Dinniman is working on the 6th book, I am also really sad that I've completely the books that are out.

Not just in this book, but throughout the whole series Dinniman does a great job of weaving the story and characters. Even the litRPG parts aren't overly tedious as they are in some books in this genre. I find myself laughing, crying, rooting for our heroes. Dinniman also does a great job of talking about the characters' backstories without going into pages of exposition. This really is a series you need to start from the beginning because tidbits about things are dropped throughout and that's how you get a clear picture. 

As someone who has read books in series where they also spend pages rehashing what went on in previous books, I appreciate that Dinniman does not do this. Again, these aren't standalone books. So while Carl might mention something that happens in a previous book, it's usually nothing more than a sentence. Often, it even comes in the form of part of the dialogue such as a moment where he will say "who is that again?" and another character fills him in.

This series is not for kids. There are a lot of innuendos, and graphic scenes. There are also a lot of adult jokes.  I always find myself caught up in the stories and tend to blaze through the books once I get going as there is pretty much non-stop action. Well done, Matt Dinniman and I'm looking forward to the next one!
