"Kindled Magic" includes an overview of the entire adventure path, including revealing the ultimate Big Bad. I pretty much always suggest having the vast majority of the AP available before starting to run it, but that part at least wouldn't be a hindrance. Still, the further ahead you can read, the better the experience will be.

As for setting material, I would highly recommend getting Lost Omens: Mwangi Expanse (I would call it just barely shy of required), and the Lost Omens Character Guide wouldn't hurt either.

Thank you for that. We have a while before we finish our current campaign, so I’ll start reading :). And maybe practice with something smaller like the Little Trouble In Big Absalom adventure to get the hang of running a game in the system before that.

This is a really great post, but the extra readings section brings up something that I’ve been thinking about since I heard about this AP.

I’m new to Pathfinder in general, having played a game or two of the 1E Beginner’s Box.

I’ve been reading that for other APs, it’s easier to seed the climax ahead of time if you know who the big bad is. Should I wait until the entire thing is out or start this once our group wraps up our current 5E campaign?

Also, how much of the world lore should I read ahead of time as the DM?
