eye of the bedlam bride by matt dinniman

Donut and Carl are on the tenth level. They can collect cards sort of like Pokémon. And then they can use the creature of the card when they need it most. We have some beloved characters back in the dungeon and new flair to the game. All the dark humor and snarkiness and wordplay.

The best thing about this book is chapter 45, we see some insight into Carl’s family, his father and who he became of a man. And Carl and Donut come to my home state of Iowa!

Just when you think everything has been done there is something more obscure and absurd in this game. The body doubt isn’t as high but there is just as much utter chaos.

I think by now we can all agree we don’t completely understand what’s happening but we Are enjoying this wild ride. Come on board to see donut fly, and the iconic line “don’t gaslight me, Jesus.”

I will begrudgingly agree that these books are too long and Matt Dinniman needs an editor. But oh, aren’t they glorious?

Can’t wait for book 7.

Thanks to NetGalley and Ace Publishing for the ARC. Book to be released May 13, 2025.
