Not for me. The writing style is all telling, not showing, and I struggled to care about the characters and read through page after page of exposition on the world’s battle and political history. It might read better in the original Greek, and reading the prequel may make these sections easier to follow. The world is very detailed, and the mythology seems interesting, but it feels like reading an overly detailed summary rather than actually experiencing the world and characters’ perspectives.
