And season 3 was better and season 4 will never come ...

I do recommend the book.

I have a hard time recommending the book. The main character had no agency for most of it, and the plot was very unclear. It made for a good unveiling at the end, but given the size of the book...it's a lot to read for that payoff.

I won't say don't read it -- it did manage to keep my interest, after all -- I just have a hard time recommending it due to the time-investment:reward ratio.

Well, you have to be into the topic, or not. Mythology has the trait of unclear plots and dealing with mysterious forces quite often ..

(Some stories don't even have a reveal at the ending at all)
