As a sequel, it stands on its own but also allows us to catch up with characters who have continued to live and develop over the past couple in-universe decades. Monty and Percy ended up in a different place in each book than they ended the book before, which is just one thing that makes this feel like a real three-dimensional universe.
This is the first of the trilogy that doesn't center on a queer character, but I forgive that because it ends with ~spoilers~

Set in 18th century Europe, so the sexism, homophobia, racism and shitty take on mental health are to be expected. No on page suicide attempt, someone else recounts theirs, years ago.
