I can see why some Poles in his generation would have a complicated relationship with Communism
They don't have anything complicated. Writers just opportunistically flipped the flag the moment system changed. Literally entire art community in Poland did, that's why i have zero respect for them and wish them happy getting fucked up by AI like we workers are fucked up every automation round. Maybe they finally will find some class solidarity which they never had at all.
Have you read his Hussite trilogy?
Yes. As always he manages to create vibrant and believable (pseudo)late-medieval setting and some good characters, but the trilogy is hard case of the trilogy-burnout syndrome with the 1st book being excellent, 2nd mid and 3rd taking nosedive.

Wow that's disappointing, thank you for sharing that. That's so pathetic to just not have any ideals and opportunistically do a 180 on a dime like that.
Sucks the trilogy syndrome hit that series too. Idk if I'll bother then, I like a story to be self-contained and if the ending ruins it I'd sometimes rather not even get invested. At this point "trilogy" is so overplayed and leads to needless bloat, a series being a trilogy is a red flag
