I loved the series up until now. This one I just could not get into. The cat gets more annoying and carl becomes more of an idiot. It’s like one long fight scene with no real story to it. My guess is he started to use AI for writing to extend this book. I get the premise for the floor but it just was not interesting at all. I found myself listening and then having to go back again because it just did not hold my attention. Nothing horrible about the book . Just like watching Fast and Furious after the first 2 or 3.. why even bother. The did have a couple good plot movements for sure but this book really was only a couple hours worth of good content. Seems this is the new standard with AI helping to write books. Build in flux to extend and make a book out of a few chapters. Unfortunately I’ll likely continue with the series so it will help support these poor practice. Just not many good books these days to listen to or read.
