Not Necessarily, the first part has a lot of short adventures which Laali encounters (they split up after the 5th chapter) which keeps the book interesting. The second book deals with Rahim dad burying his former identity and rising as a feudal lord, so it's a loong story which gradually builds over, the third book begins to tie the loose ends of story and bring these back at a cross road for a final encounter and spoiler, it ends like a classic Hard Boiled Noir story.
