This book is the prequel to the main series, which was written much earlier. I read this book and am about to start the main series. I don't think it would matter if you read this book first. I really enjoyed this book. There were very few confusing parts of the plot and I felt like I understood it. The writing was engaging and I never really felt like the story was too dragged out or slow. Overall, this was an interesting and entertaining book. I would recommend it to fans of fantasy stories.
