Sounds like an absolute torture with that book

Bedlam Bride (6)? I’m finding it to be pretty dark. Butcher’s Masquerade (5) had its moments, too.

Hell, I'm still in book 3 and the whole thing is dark but approached with levity by the absurdity and the degree to which the system AI is keeping it showy.

I think a lot of them go dark (I'm mid way through This Inevitable Ruin) but that scene with the hoarder, I dunno, for me, it hit much harder than anything else. I expect tragedy and sadness but that poor lady begging... It just got me.

Oh, it was a taste of what the book series has. DCC is a horror series under the mask of a light hearted dungeon crawler

In my head, that scene is much darker than almost anything that follows. There's a lot where if you take a step back and think about it, ooof. But that's scene is the most inescapable gut punch (if you know some Spanish.)

Great series though, mixes the light heartedness with an eventually pretty heavy undertone.

It's a dark and political story wearing the skin of a light hearted romp like a serial killer with their victim's face.

It takes a book or 2 for the mask to really slip (hence the hammyness of the first book or 2). It's an excellent story, though a little marmite like (you either love it or hate it).

The only way my brain is reading that is "mayo on my mouse", don't know how I should feel about that.

I forgot about that tracker, going to set a reminder to check back during the next invite sesh. Thanks!

I read most of them in print, but I switched to audio for the last book when I heard about the vocal talent. Might be the best recording of any book I have ever experienced.
