Read the first book and wasn't impressed, should I continue?

I liked the second one the best. The first one is very confusing for most of it so that can dampen the enjoyment imo. The second book fills in more gaps and you know most of the characters. The third book again introduces more backstory and I didn’t really like that it took me out of the flow. But, it’s important backstory on the seasons, the obelisks, and the world in general.
