Christophe asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hi Michael, would you be so kind to advise me if it is better to start with the Riyria Revelations or the Riyria Chronicles? Regards. Christophe

Michael J. Sullivan I'll certainly do my best ;-)

First you should know the books CAN be read in either order. I know some like chronological so I made the Chronicles spoiler free...but that being said, I think that reading in publication order makes the experience just a bit better...because you'll be "in on some stuff" when reading Chronicles. I'm not talking about big plot points, just little winks and nods for "those in the know." So for that reason I say start with Theft of Swords.

That being said, I've had others read in chronological order that insist that is the BEST way...and I'm glad to discover that I accomplished my goal of allowing for both scenarios. If you REALLY hate reading books out of chronological order then go with The Crown Tower, but if I had my druthers I'd say start with Theft of Swords.

Thanks for asking!
