This second adventure actually started off with a good deal more levity and parody than I expected after the first novel. If you are of a mind that begins to doubt your reading choice at this point, stick with it. The first quarter doesn't really prepare you for what is going to happen. There is a very different, if dark, ride coming up.
Foreshadowing of a third novel comes early in case you don't already know it exists. This robbed the story of some potential "edge of your seat" moments, as you know he's going to pull through it all in the end. All told, I didn't actually enjoy this as much as the first novel. Maybe the comedic rise and dark plummeting was all part of the author's plan, but it strained my ability to like Apropos as much this time around. Don't get me wrong, I'll be reading Tong Lashing soon enough.
