Skip show and just read the books?

So I'm a fan of the Vampire Chronicles but haven't finished them. I started the show for the Mayfair witches and season 1 bored me to tears. Season 2 is almost equally if not more boring and it's making me wanna drop the show. I heard though the books are very different.

Should I just drop the show and read the books? Will I get more actually witchcraft content cause to me the show os very lacking in this and for now I just see a bunch of randomn stuff they don't really explain and they just come off as super powers.

I don't even know if I should call it a magick system? They all just got different powers as far as the show has shown.
