Hmmmm! Seems illogical to me. After all, it is usually the first volume in a series that introduces the main characters and ropes the reader in. By the time the second volume comes around, either the reader is captivated by both the storyline and the characters or loses interest -- unless, of course, each book is written as a standalone that can be viewed as either a part of a sequential series or as part of something that is a series only in the sense that the characters are continuous but the storyline really isn't dependant on anything learned in earlier volumes.
Well, I admit I'm now curious, so I've put volume 1 on my wishlist. Next time I make a book purchase I may include it.
