For how much I enjoyed the first one I almost didn’t get the second. Only 9 hrs is pretty short for what im looking for and to find out 1.5 hour at least of slow inaccurate card info dump reading, making it a 7.5 hr book. I wouldn’t have gotten it for that, the story is still quite good overall though. I would wait for book 3 before picking it up at least as it is solely a prep book for the next in my opinion.
