stakes are getting even higher. i had so many moments of nervousness and fear and a sense of overwhelmingness. i love carl and donut but i got extremely worried many times. concerns are very high. questionable decisions are being made. i dont even know what to think or feel. i read these so fast and then at the end it starts to sink in and it’s so much

“This was also something that trauma could do. It could make you blind, and it could open your eyes wider than they’d ever been, all at the same time.”
i think this is my favorite installment yet. there was so much heart in this one, and i really was crying at so much within these pages. i am just becoming too attached to everyone at this point. but yeah, i really loved this one a lot and i am so happy i decided to ask for all these books for my birthday!
okay, we are finally at the sixth level, which is the hunting grounds, where outsiders from the game are able to be hunters and… hunt the crawlers who are being forced to play the game. only eighty-five-thousand crawlers remain, and they have seventeen days to complete this new level. oh, and if you’re in the top fifty for favorite crawlers, you will be able to attend a masquerade at the very end. and yes, it is meant to feel a little menacing, especially when you add the word “butcher” to the front of masquerade in the title.
as i have been saying, one of my favorite aspects of this series is seeing what the new dungeon floor looks like! and the sixth level is just a fantasy lover's dream. (oh, and dinosaurs! i’m not a dino girl myself, but i do think this will be appealing for a lot of other readers!) i also extra loved seeing donut and carl pick specialties on this floor, and i will always love a good performance check!
also, because of the insane ending to the previous book, we also get to see carl get an attorney, which i really did love. i just love seeing more and more ex-crawlers, and just people “working” for the people in charge, in this universe and learning more and more backstory on their histories. i really do think the author is saying a lot in the book about tyrannical government systems that thrive on keeping the oppressed feeling isolated in a game that is set up for them to lose.
lastly, a new entry for people i am cheering so very loudly for: prepotente
