What are the best books on the seven ecumenical council? I'm thinking about buying this because it's nice and cheap but is it the best thing out there?

I haven't read that one but this book is very easy to understand and is free on formed.org if you have a subscription.

How in depth and exhaustive is it? Can't be that good if it's free.

It's like 500+ pages and there is about a paragraph devoted to summarizing the tl;dr of every major turning point in Church history. It's so wide in scope it might not be as focused as what you're looking for but it's a great starting point for learning more. I canceled my subscription to formed.org a while ago because I needed to cut down on subscription services but it's like $10/month and you can download a ton of ebooks for free that you can read even after your subscription is canceled.
