I'm glad I watched the series first. I think it helped me follow the story better since I already had a visual. The writing style was confusing or the story was just hard to follow, and maybe it was supposed to be that way due to the trauma in the main characters life. I still enjoyed it and would definitely like to read the 2nd book.
