It's not a consistent text but reflects his changing views over the course of his life and he contradicts himself at various points because of this. Still worth reading through but you have to additionally read the later Neoplatonists in order to find a consistent system. It's value is more in the spiritual insight and beauty of the text than in it being a rigorous system.

Read Plotinus then Damascius to patch the holes in the Enneads, the other neoplatonists wasted their whole lives to write incoherent shit without solving any of the issues in Plotinus' philosophy and they aren't worth your time.

You can read him after Plotinus but Damscius already sums up his system and its flaws

Are you capable of giving us a suma of Damascius' thought, and therefore the final world of the Academy- if yes, are you willing to do it, dear Harmodius? I would greatly appreciate it.
