This was crazy. I had so much fun, maybe it is the best one in the series so far. The protagonists were introduced with a new way of doing battle, a card game. As a former Pokémon and Magic card player, I really loved the action. The humor was regularly outstanding and had me grinning and laughing many times. We learn some very emotional background stories about Carl, the main story also had some very emotional moments. The narration is superb.
