The Butcher's Masquerade: Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman is the fifth book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. I read this by way of an eBook so I did not have access to the bonus short story for this novel.
The publisher’s plot synopsis for this one
is pretty vague. That presents a problem as the book is hard to describe as it
is without spoilers. Basically, there is a giant jungle region where the
hunters are now part of the game and are hunting the crawlers. There are
roaming dinosaurs, Vrah, one of the Mantis, is hunting Carl. If that was not
vague enough, the book ends with a cliffhanger.
The audible book might be worth listening
to instead of reading this one as there is at least one song only included only
in the audible version. However, that song is also available on YouTube.
Princess Donut becomes a bard in this novel so there are songs now.
I enjoyed this book, but the final third
act is way different than what I expected as I was reading. It also drags a
bit. If you like the humor and the action of the series than you should enjoy
this one. But, you are also warned that things get pretty weird.
I am looking forward to reading The Eye of the Bedlam Bride which is
the sixth book in the series.
