Shadow and Bone 2 Band?

I have a question. Can you read "The Gold of the Crows" (Volume 2) with the background knowledge of the Netflix series "Shadow and Bone", although you haven't read the first volume (The Song of the Crows)?

Or is it advisable to read volume 1 first?

I won't do it in your place, because the song of the crows / the gold of the crows is its own duologz, which takes place in the world of shadow and bone but has a completely different plot.

In the netflix series, the shadow and bone trilogy and the crows trilogy were combined and the plot of the crows trilogy changed very much, so you have to read the first part (is also very good)
