I somehow missed the fact that this was a second book in the series and read it as a standalone novel. There were some references to previous adventures, but I took them as a natural way to give the characters history, so I didn't feel like I was missing anything.
The book is very long, but very well written and the story expertly told: despite the length, there are very few frills and the whole book felt like a rich tapestry being woven right before my eyes with the pattern emerging steadily with every turn of the page, but being revealed completely only in the last chapter.
I am not sure I would want to reread this book — still not a fan of the length, but otherwise the book is very rereadable.
But now I am conflicted. I'd be very disappointed if the first book is not as good, but I am still curious about it.
