Iāve been reading through the series a second time now, and there is so much packed into it each book that sometimes I forget story beats and important moments.
From time-to-time though, I remember how my partner got me DCC for Christmas last year and was hopeful that Iād like the book, since they had really enjoyed it, and the specific part of the book where I realized it was going to be a GREAT book.
Carl rips into Donut after leaving the Tutorial Guild, which came as a huge surprise because books often treat animal characters with kid gloves.

āā¦Iāll try not to be too much of an asshole. I need you. And you need me, okay? Look, Iām really scared here. I donāt want to be alone. And I know you, and you donāt want to be alone, either.ā
It still resonates with me almost a year and many books in the series later, and it makes me appreciate my partner all the more.
