Swift does not seem to have a lot of options when it comes to books, especially compared to Java or Python. So this is basically the Swift book to read (along with the second book, which I have not finished yet). Luckily it's also really good. The author's intent was to write a book to be read all the way through and then used as a reference. It has served both purposes well for me. Of course, there are some things it does not cover. Personally I wish he would write a book on SwiftUI.

Provide good examples of swift from fundamental to in-depth knowledge in first half of the book. The other half is about how to use xcode, it's good to know but will be more better to watch youtube tutorials.
