Is Live and Let Lionel worth the read?

I just finished the 8/8.5 tandem read and i'm honestly hesitant to keep reading atm. I wasn't a fan of the tandem much since it felt so repetitive and didn't add enough to the overall story imo I saw that Live and Let Lionel is technically set as the next read, but i'm hesitant to start it. I honestly really dislike his POV chapters so i'm not sure how i'll feel about reading this considering it's name lmfao Is it worth the read or should I just jump to 9?
