I picked up this book under complete ignorance that there was another series taking place beforehand. However that should not make a difference if you want to pick up this book. The novel stands on it's own but leaves the reader with just enough curiosity and intrigue to go look for the previous series and see what came before. It takes place in the past but in a completely new take of acceptance and steampunk atmosphere. Although the descriptions of setting and atmosphere were vivid the local people completely faded into the background. I do consider their lack of roles in the plot however it would have been nice to see them a little bit more colourful and vivid as appreciated details.
