It *should* be okay, but probably best between books 3&4. If you try a different reading order, I'd love to hear your impressions of how it went! I know lots of people start with that one first.

Eh, I've consulted experts before and I will again if I can't write around a knowledge gap... But this one comes up relatively frequently.

I feel like every parent who understands games also bans Roblox. I'm sure there are good things on there, but they're buried under a mountain of utter dreck.
We checked it out with our oldest because we were interested in the potential creative aspects, but were quickly horrified.

Haha, I got a response to this but I'm pretty sure it was from a GPT bot. They recommended a book by an author that doesn't exist.
I'd been wondering about that account.

Made this a while back!
But I can also say that Matt Dinniman himself has recommended my series, Apocalypse Parenting. Thought that was worth mentioning given that you really like DCC.

Wait, is that genuinely true?
Because I was pretty well knocked flat with my last kid for some reason. "Healthy" but constantly nauseated.

It's so easy to feel invisible as a parent, especially when your kids are very small. I had one at a time and that was hard enough... Although I hear the twin thing really pays off when they're older and have a built-in playmate.

I *hate* the AI search results Google is doing now. It's whole or partial lies at least 30% of the time, but always plausible ones.
And yeah, I agree it's sadly plausible. There's some weird shit out there, and not all of it in a good way. :P

Did... ChatGPT tell you that?
Donut and Carl are ride-or-die but there's no romance between them. Both have other occasional interests but are overall too busy with the not dying.

It kind of was! The author, Matt Dinniman, actually used to like... go to cat shows and draw cats for a living? I don't know how that works, but I'm assured it's true. No cat shows during lockdown so he had to do something else.
Donut is a tortoiseshell Persian because they're hardest to draw. 😂

You get a Bronze "First Hit Was Free" Benefactor Box. It may not be the same, but there are other options to chase that high...

Like... Even the crude stuff isn't handled salaciously the vast majority of the time. Like, here's this male stripper and his stripper name. He's critical to this heist.

Oooh, tempting. I own them, but only in physical media form... It was so difficult picking between Book of the Night with Moon or High Wizardry when I modded the tokens for A Place for All My Books
