Not gonna oversell it because it’s still a kids’ book series based on Minecraft. But it’s way better than that other crappy series my kids wanted me to read to them.

Dodged a bullet, man. They were demanding that I start the other one over. Oof.

Minecraft is an extremely versatile universe. Somehow, the author of this series missed that and went for the most basic, literal, and painfully superficial path to tell a story.

Naturally my kids loved it and wanted to hear all of them at bedtime. Ugh.

Nothing even fucking happens in Book 2. The characters walk up to a mountain, find a crystal, then repeatedly run away from monsters for another 18 chapters. There are six books of this.

But we’re on the last one now, thankfully. I should write one just so I don’t lose my goddamn mind next time.
