The most difficult books I've read would be The Road by cormac maccarthy and Dune. How difficult is it compared to these? Is it more difficult or less difficult?

The first book is structured differently than the rest of the series as it grew out of a movie script, but neither it nor the rest are particularly difficult to read. There are a ton of characters and a lot of plot threads moving around at the same time, but the transitions between them are handled pretty well and don't make it terrible to keep things straight imo
