Review: A Parade of Horribles

A Parade of Horribles by Matt Dinniman
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and Berkley for the pre-release copy of A Parade of Horribles by Matt Dinniman. Below is my honest review.

WHAT A RIDE (literally)!

This one takes place on two floors of the dungeon, floors ten and eleven. Ten is like Wacky Races, the old Hanna Barbera cartoon, but with death and destruction and dismemberment and disgusting things. Our crawler fam find themselves on random mounts/vehicles, racing through weird places, hoping to avoid awful deaths, all while working through quests and storylines that the AI has been setting up all along AND attempting to rescue as many sentient beings from the dungeon as possible.

I won't spoil how that turns out, but then comes the Parade of Horribles, also known as floor eleven, and a weird little reenactment of past events and the crazed AI's pontificating... followed by an Arena where CHAOS HAPPENS, of course.

And of course, the way our faves get themselves out of messes is wildly entertaining... and leaves me ready for the next installment and really dreading the long wait.

Five stars, highly recommended for DCC fans, fans of talking cats, and fans of silly fun extremely ridiculous awesome LitRPGs. But do yourself the favor and start at book one if you haven't read them all!
