It was hilarious, had so many wtf moments, and I loved how Carl gave zero shits. His love for Princess Donut was also adorable and seeing him survive these wild things and then love on his companion was absolutely precious.
I repeat what I said in the last book: Listen to the audiobooks. They are truly an experience. AND lmao, those end credit audio scenes--wtf? LOL.

It's also a great story about friendship and the power of understanding each other.
I thought this was fun! I would have loved to see a live action drama of this (if there is one, then I will definitely be watching it), simply because I think a lot of the humour in this volume would translate well onto television.
That being said, I don't know if I want to read the second volume. I'm content with how this one ended and maybe one day I will cave and get the second volume, but for now, I'm happy with this ending.
I'd recommend this for anyone who wants a cute manga with memorable characters and...an interesting art style.

I finally listened and while it had its really fascinating and darker moments, it was...okay? Nothing truly special, tbh.
I think I zoned out a few times and didn't feel that urge I sometimes do when I'm really invested in a book to go back and re-read a chapter.
Even though it's been about a year (maybe?) since I've read book one, the upside of this book is that Horowitz made it very easy to catch up on what happened last.
I'm intrigued enough to keep going. It definitely gave me MICHAEL VEY and ALEX RIDER vibes, so that was pretty good. It was full of adventure, travel, and the darker side of humanity (or as dark as you can get in a young adult to middle grade novel.
I think anyone who likes younger adventure and save-the-world storylines in these two age categories will really enjoy the first two books in this series.
