I just finished The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie after bouncing off a couple of times over the years, and I enjoyed it.

While looking for my next book I decided to try this Dungeon Crawler Carl everyone's constantly banging on about, but reading the synopsis reminded me why I always change my mind at the last minute and find something else. I know you all love it here but man it sounds awful.

Hehe, I have been thinking about reading Dungeon Crawler Carl too, because of all the mention it gets here. What about the synopsis turned you off?

I read and like lots of web novels so probably won't have any issue with the theme, but will have to start before I can say anything.

I put off DCC for a bit. Finally took the plunge. Do the audiobook.

I'm reading The Heroes, which is in the First Law Universe. I like them, very dark.
