5.0
Overall: 5/5
This is the most fun book I’ve read in a long time. The adventure, the fun characters, the unpredictability…chef’s kiss
Characters: 5/5
This is how characterization should be done. Everyone is so unique and has a distinctive voice. Love it.
Setting/Worldbuilding: 5/5
Sure the dungeon itself is a little contrived, borrowing from established video game tropes, but it’s clear there’s a much deeper level of lore than what we see on the surface. What’s up with the corporation, the rest of the universe, the micro communities of the dungeon inhabitants?
Plot: 5/5
Super fun, I’ve never been able to guess what will happen next.
Writing: 4.5/5
The style of writing is easy to read and richly descriptive. Sometimes disgustingly so—in a good way if that makes sense. It’s a little repetitive when it comes to the main character’s inner monologue. Not enough to knock down the overall rating, but pickier readers might be annoyed.
