I've been bopping in & out in between reading other things, but I did just finish book 3 and have downloaded book 4, for those keeping track of my DCC journey! I have a lot of chores/organizing/cleaning to do over the next week so I may make it through this book faster than the last one. We'll see!

there was a point during the first boss fight (no spoilers) where I walked away for like 2 weeks b/c I was irritated, but I picked it back up & as the book went on I felt like I could see which parts were deliberate and the point they were trying to make more clearly. I enjoyed enough to get book 2!

I am not a gamer, the only video games I have ever played are Tetris and Mario Kart with my kid when he was younger. I don't think that's the problem for me? It just felt like starting with book 4, everything felt too bloated. I made it through that book bc I was listening...

but I really lost track of a lot of it. And the 5th book just feels way too overweighted, too long, too flabby. I mean, I guess that can be about the gaming stuff? But it doesn't feel that way to me. It just feels like it could be half the length.

I feel like I have a terrible idea of how long something is when I'm listening to it because I do it sporadically for 5 or 15 or 30 minutes at a time, so I'm interested to see how I feel when I get to 5

I had no trouble in the first 3 books of following individual scenes + the bigger thing that they were trying to achieve on that floor. But in 4, I realized at some point I was just sort of...listening to listen. And in 5, from pretty early on, I was having a hard time following it.
