It is harder to follow a steller first book, but this one felt rushed in comparison to the adventure in the first. Whether it was beuas you cannot fit the whoe of new foreign customs into one book or that the pacing was off, maybe a little of both, I struggled to anchor myself to Lawernce's point of view. People were introduced and then dropped rather quucikly. It made me read more carefully but it did not make me feel invested.
