First Among Sequels

The book is packed with parodies and nods to classic literature; I loved how layered it was, but sometimes it was hard to keep up. Did others find it accessible or a bit dense?

The series feels like a love letter to readers who enjoy poking fun at their favorite books. I wonder if the author planned this satire from the start or if it evolved over time.

The witty tone makes the book so fun, but there are moments that feel genuinely reflective about the nature of books and stories. Did others find the humor sometimes overshadowed deeper ideas?
