Interesting… Looking at my L23-24s, I find a good number of those to be harder than the first two chapters, for various reasons.
It’s possible my having read it (a year and a half ago) is influencing my perception. There’s a lot I don’t remember, but it probably makes it easier to track the characters at least. I’ll be curious to see how the level looks post-book club
Sry to hear. Hope next week’s chapter will do better there
