No bald Eight, 0/10... Just kidding. I really enjoyed reading this one. More often than not it reminded me of Skeleton and Idiot Sorceress. Though on that note, it does bring up a minor critique I have. That being that compared to that novel, the world in this novel doesn't quite feel as rich. What I mean is that most locations here feel like flavor of the week type things, rather than the lore-filled world you had in Skeleton and Idiot sorceress. That, and I do kind of feel like Eight should have been a tad more fleshed out. It did feel a little anticlimactic how she was just in a rebellious stage. That, and it would have been nice to see Lucky beat her proper.
Now Rollando, he really is what ended up carrying this hard. The dice man may have gotten Lucky in trouble more than a couple times, but he proved his worth with knowledge and humor.
Overall, I don't think this will top Skeleton and idiot sorceress, but it just might top Food truck to be my second-favorite of your works. Congratulations on finishing and good luck with the contest.
