It depends on what you want. If you just want to continue the story then reading volume two ist totally fine and you won't miss much. If you want to get a better feeling of the actual novel characters then start with volume one (although it is a bit boring).

The story is identic, but in the novel you get more "little" information, like the fact that a demon can't get in contact with or drink saint blood without feeling pain or even dying (which was only hinted in the anime when the demon ate the saint of sun) or them examining the flowers to see if one was simly painted on. Also the characters are a bit different. I thought Adlet's bargging was more embarrassing and Fremy was much more hostile towards all of them (especially Adlet). Overall I found the book version of the story more "complete".
