Moving into an adjacent literature is a recurring postdoc task and an unusually inefficient one. You know how to read papers but not which ones matter here, not which disagreements are live and which were settled a decade ago, and not which names carry weight with the reviewers you will meet. The conventional route is to read a recent review and follow its references, which works but takes weeks and inherits that author's view of the field. Starting from the questions you actually have, with sourced answers, gets to the same place faster and shows you the disagreements rather than one person's resolution of them.
How long should entering a new subfield take?
Less than the several weeks a review-and-references route costs, if you start from your own questions rather than someone else's summary.
What should I look for first in a new literature?
The live disagreements. Knowing what is contested tells you more about a field than knowing what is agreed.
Is a recent review enough to orient me?
It is a start, but it carries its author's framing. Reading the papers it disagrees with is where the field actually becomes visible.
