I wrote "Crafting Interpreters" and read and very much enjoyed Thorsten's interpreters book. (I haven't gotten to his second one yet.)
They are surprisingly alike. Mine takes you through two complete implementations of the same language: first as a tree-walk interpreter and then as a bytecode compiler. His first book does the former and his second book does the latter.
Both are written in an informal friendly style and focus on working code. If you like one, you'll probably like the latter.
Mine uses Java for the first language and C for the second. Thorsten's books use Go for both. I think mine has more background information, theory, and historical context. His will get you to a working interpreter with less prose to wade through.
I think it's mostly a question of style and preference. I'd dip into the first chapter of each and see which resonates with you.
