Imagine the apocalypse, a twisted game show, and a fever dream of sarcasm all having a baby. Then that baby grows up, grabs a cat in combat boots, and says, “Let’s crawl some dungeons.”
Carl’s the kind of hero you can’t help but root for, he’s part “why me?” and half “fine, I’ll burn it all down.” His partner, Princess Donut the Queen Anne Chonk (yes, Donut), is a total diva and completely steals the show. The worldbuilding? Bananas in the best way. The humor? Dark, sharp, and perfectly inappropriate.
I renewed my Audible subscription just to keep listening while doing all the boring real-life stuff that gets in the way of reading. The narration is fantastic, pure gold.
And tell me I’m not the only one who pictures Derek Wilson as Wolf from Future Man as the perfect Carl. The narrator’s tone gives major Wolf meets Patrick Warburton vibes, and it’s absolute chef’s kiss. Love love love!!
