OH MY GOD, RYAN!
Read it!  Considering what you're up to.

Plus, dunnoh if this happened to you, but my first read of BotNS was befuddling and frustrating. It opened up later.  Long Sun was thrilling and fascinating from the get go, at all points.  You don't have to discover the Second House to enjoy Long Sun.

Oh my god you're gonna love it. Read read read!

But the story has some very significant that references that equate the Green and possibly the City of the Inhumi with Urth and the Neighbors and their culture with Urth and Nessus and humanity. I think we should embrace the paradox in order to find out what is going on. Pretending nothing weird is going on is not going to get us anywhere. I puzzled for years over why Hyancinth was like the shape-changing Ladley Worm before coming to a conclusion.
