"Jumped straight into book 2 where Carl and Princess Donut have arrived on Level 3. The level where the fun is at and also harder. Choosing their race and class will have long term implications. Choose well guys." — Jun 05, 2026 11:35PM

"I've taken a weekend pause around the 50% mark because whilst the details remain a bit foggy, I know what follows - eviscerating Supercollider is going to be brutal. I am mentally preparing myself by reading romances. That should counteract the brutality to come, shouldn't it?" — Jan 31, 2026 02:53PM

Villainy at its most charming I've been reading a lot of interspecies stories, some good, occasionally atrocious and many middling meh.
This is stands out as excellent for the plot, the characters, humour, suspense and romance. Chef kiss. The writing ...more "

"I read this book earlier in the year and adored it. So much so that I was waiting anxiously for book 2. Thankfully I have the ARC to read over Christmas. Publishers and Netgalley, my heartfelt thanks.
I can't dive into book 2 without a refresher and it's no hardship to read this again. Happy, happy, joy, joy.1" — Dec 20, 2025 12:42PM

I need to keep a few secrets of my own. I have so many. Even ones I’ve kept from myself.
“I am already one of god’s most perfect creatures, so I won’t be changing race when the opportunity arises. I was born a cat, and I will die a cat. In fact, I’m going to have to insist that Carl choose a cat race as well.”

“New achievement! PETA Enthusiast! You somehow managed to remove the hostility of an aggravated, non-sapient enemy. That enemy then fought against other enemies to your benefit. The ghost of Steve Irwin smiles down upon you. Reward: I SAID THE GHOST OF STEVE IRWIN SMILES DOWN UPON YOU.”

“The woman was down for kinky sex, knew how I liked my coffee, and was more than willing to aid in the murder of a rapist. What had I done to get so lucky?”

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

“If you ran, Gianna . . .” The words were malicious yet somehow as soft and desperate as sex in a war-torn field. He pressed his lips to my ear. “I would find you.”
