Mm, this volume is interesting. We get to see Kino and Hermes travel including a bit on the lakeside.
The involvement of the golden goose was kinda silly imo especially with the reasoning to kill it. Also, I love how the cultural and world building is expanding. We get the term 'Zumtrattaran' (how the hell do you even pronounce that?). Although for one thing, they aren't viewed as pleasant people by the way they are described..
