iPhone stuck in iCloud restoration

I got my iphone 14 pro a few days ago and was restoring it from my most recent iCloud backup but i noticed it’s been stuck on restoring my books for almost 3 days (i have 5 books so it shouldn’t take that long) i tried restarting my phone multiple times but that didn’t help. I have an iOS update i need to do but it won’t let me update until the restoration is completed. i’m worried it won’t ever complete. any advice or answers to my problem?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16
