Good

Not really a very actionable for the person on the street. Kinda needs "Chokepoint Capitalism" to make sense. Well written, timely given gestures to twitter, facebook, reddit, tiktok, youtube, etc

Good!

Continues to build on the world from the first book, entertaining, better than the first even.
Unsatisfying ending because it's a compilation of a Royal Road series

A dungeon book
4 stars
I would say that this book is pretty steriotypical for this genre. Slightly better than normal in terms of characters plans not always going perfectly, and some queer characters.
I enjoyed it but it's nothing out of the ordinary for this genre. Read it if you want a easy and fun dungeon core book that has more women in it than normal.
I will probably pick up the sequel

I really wanted to love this, it seemed to have all the ingredients of a fantastic story, but it never quite clicked and I find myself struggling to remember the story.
Maybe it was me.

If you enjoyed that, you'll probably enjoy this.
There is a relationship that is pretty poorly written but generally it's an ok little romp

An OK History
3 stars
Ehh, pretty good. Bit "strong man of history" in terms of it's retelling, which is very jarring giving the actual advice of Deming of system's thinking approach.
Not much in here for those looking for insight, but a nice history
