The first book has way too much of the video game in it that turns out not to be all that pertinent to the story that the trilogy tells as a whole, if that was the annoying bit for you it gets better as the first book concludes and video game scenes are mercifully short in the first half of the second book and eliminated completely after that.

Otherwise if it is the Wikipedia-article inspired narrative style puts you off, that remains consistent across the trilogy and doesn't get better lol
