This story continues to entertain. It is a quasi standalone; the previous novel helps greatly but isn’t strictly needed. Chester is an absolute chaotic delight. The narrator is a treat. It held my attention beginning to end and launched me straight into the next one.
The MC is in a new city on a new continent. The locals are antagonistic and keep pushing his buttons including ignoring him about a pending threat until he has no choice but to save the city from monsters and their own leaders. But it also lets him reunite with friends he had to leave behind.
