As I've said before, this particular Stabenow really doesn't depend on previous books, and, moreover, it's funny. Not subtle, restrained, witty funny, but laugh out loud, near slapstick, situational funny. Oh, there's certainly references to things that happened in the past, but the story (and the humour) is not dependent on anything beyond the book you're reading. And it's a good read, with lots of references to Alaskan and Indigenous culture that very much adds to the enjoyment for me. The sort of book I find myself reading paragraphs to my DW from, even though both of us have read it before.
