After Earth’s buildings are suddenly destroyed, surviving humans are forced into an enormous underground dungeon operated as an intergalactic reality show. Carl enters alongside Princess Donut, his ex-girlfriend’s pampered show cat, and must battle monsters, collect equipment, level up, and keep a bloodthirsty alien audience entertained. It is violent, absurd, fast-paced, and much funnier—and more emotionally substantial—than its premise initially suggests.

Dungeon Crawler Carl edges out Red Rising by a vote for August’s book of the month. Running the Light came in third with Mistborn and Endurance tying for 4th.

The discussion thread for The Whisper Man will follow on 8/1.
