With today’s short intention span. I would suggest reducing it to 90seconds or even less. It’s an intriguing but I’m afraid I’m bias from being an author myself. I looked at your trailer and put my reader shoes on and I have to say it’s a bit too much words in the subtitle which the font size was hard to read. I would reference TikTok for improvement. Your trailer is good, it just needs to be compressed to achieve its goal with the competitive market in today’s book marketing industry.
I would back Karl's comment. The trailer is on the long side. Though I don't think the content you are providing is a lot. I would advise working on sending the same information, much faster. Good luck!
