I liked this book better than the first one. I can definitely get behind the premise of a historian going around collecting stories/histories. It's very cute and very compelling. This book was much easier to follow jumping between the story-within-the-story and the in situ action than the first one was. The world building is a little bit abstract, but that's not inherently a bad thing.
