Between Heaven and Earth (part 6, The Setting)
There are two types of settings, a physical setting and a chronological setting. I believe this book has a physical setting. The "when" cannot be applied at any setting in the story, so this book uses physical settings by default. The settings in this book are sometimes not described well and sometimes very well. It is both these things because the author describes one setting, and when the characters move on to a new place, the author doesn't describe the new setting that well. I guess the author is trying to get the reader to follow along and make up their own feeling of what the setting is like, but for some of us who have never climbed a mountain, we don't have a clue of what is surrounding the main character.
The author could have explained the new setting when it came in. I think the author's weakness is describing the setting because the setting sometimes can describe the mood, but the author did not use this strategy to his advantage.
