Carl and Donut have made it to fifth floor.

The floor itself? Picture bubble wrap, but each bubble is a dome, isolating the crawlers within it from all the others. Each dome is its own little world, with four quadrants, each with its own castle. The crawlers in each done must conquer all four to open the dome and unlock the stairwell to the next floor. Sounds simple, right?

Except nothing is ever simple with Carl and Donut. Especially when they’re forced to rely on other crawlers. Crawlers that are so low level it feels like a joke. Or a set up.

Welcome to the fifth floor crawlers.

This is probably my second favorite book of the series. It had all the humor and Carl thinking outside the box of the first and second book, with none of the super confusing plot that had me struggling through the third.

The best part? Carl is finally getting opportunities to strike back at the system that took over his planet and enslaved him and his fellow crawlers. There were some toe curling-ly good revenge moments that had me grinning from ear to ear. I loved every second of it.

And the ending… It was so good! It totally sets up the next book for more greatness. I cannot wait to continue the series. If I haven’t convinced you to try it yet please do! Overall:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75
