Done. That's it. Don't say anything else. The book spoon feeds it to you and has good measure of jokes. Leave it as that is, and maybe mention in the beginning that we're are other books preceeding and exploring this one's specifics. It seemed very familiar with vocabulary use, so I am reassured this is a sequel.
The funniest bits in this story are the ones given by form of the narrative: spoiler ~ 'I am going to do this thing, I am excited for it.' Next page 'Arrest record for character X'... it happens more than once and is more delightful than an abrupt scene change in cinematography. Love the nerdier aspects of language, it brings a whole value to the story. Some of the pacing was off, but it was a good read.
