Volume 1 definitely improves on rereading! Especially now that Selena has told us about the bonkers Clement episode. I'm looking forward to rereading in French so I can pick up on even more things than I did when I read it in German.
Volume 2 is boring no matter what. :P Read the beginning and end (at least through Christmas 1732) and let the middle go.
