I'm almost through reading the first book and I'm rewatching the show as I go to see the changes. So far, I think the show did a great job converting book to scene based on time constraints of each episode. Book is definitely better but the show puts faces to the name which makes it easy to visualize as you read.

Don't forget to watch them on Prime Video for an extra 25 minutes of scenes. No spoilers but one of them gave me a good laugh. Pause on the 5 episode of this season to view all five or you'll only see the ones available after each episode was released.

I got this book for a similar price several years ago. Probably when Amazon got rights to the show; or when they started their own 1st season (season 3).
I read a chapter or so and it was good and has great detail. But I'm not a book reader. So, I just watch the videos and read the comments about important points left out of the books that didn't make the show episodes.
Hoping they make a spin off in the future and pick up where they left off or advanced another 200 years from where the show left off.
Oh, I got this from Amazon audible.

It depends on you really since the general plot is the same in both. The books are written in a POV style, centering on the major characters in that book, so you get to see that character's thinking, reasoning, etc that you don't get to see in the show. Additionally, there are a lot of details, sequence of events, and characters that were omitted, condensed, or altered in the show. I was a show first books second and I still enjoyed both formats. Right now I'm listening to books 1-8, including all novellas in between, again before starting book 9, which is the last one that was released last month. Currently on book 3 and enjoying every bit of it.
