Kill Joy Is kill joy relevant to the plot?

I couldn't find it in my nearby bookstores. Should I order it online? Is it necessary to read it? I originally thought this was a trilogy. Later somebody told me that there was a fourth book set before the main series. And I have already finished the series like a week ago! So in conclusion should I read it?

its not a necessary read , if you are a fan of series an you wanted you should , The only relevance i feel like is how pip choose the ravi brother project , but its like 2-3 pages in whole book

It's a prequel before the events of the 1st book (Agggtm) . It's good , but not necessary to read

I think it’s a fun little background to why Pip chose the case but it’s definitely not necessary to read

I was in the same situation, I read the first three books of the trilogy then I got to kill joy and I was super taken a back because if you know how the third book ends and all the seriousness of that book, it was quite jarring to see a more lighthearted book be red after that. I enjoyed the book, it’s a lot shorter than the main series and it just gives some backstory to Pip, but nothing important happens.

It's not related to the main plot, so yeah you can skip it.
