This was actually the first book I voluntarily read in English, after having read the www.goodreads.com/book/show/1883238.Die_Nebel_von_Avalon German version (my native language). The author uses a very Germanic English, which immensively helped me at first picking things up, and I enjoyed it immensely, despite having to look up tons of words in a dictionary going along it.

Reading a book I’ve previously enjoyed, in the language the author thought of it, is a rewarding experience. (I’ve later also had cases where the translators did such a good job in not just translating but localising, and then even researching more and adding detail, that it was better than the original, but this is not the case here, the book is enjoyable in either language.)
