Dan Mayville asked John Gwynne:

Hi John . I'm sorry to say but I'm new to your writings but have heard a lot a good things!! So I preordered A Time Of Dread because what I had read about it ,sounded interesting to me. My question is should I have read the previous trilogy or can I go back at a later time and read them or will I be confused starting off with A Time Of Dread?

John Gwynne Hi Dan,
It's great to hear from you, and welcome to the Banished Lands! :)
You don't need to have read the previous series to understand A Time of Dread. The events of my first series have become the history of this new series. I give an outline throughout A Time of Dread of all of the history that is relevant to understand this book, so there should be no need for you to go back and read those books first.
I hope that helps, and that you enjoy A Time of Dread.
All Best,

John

Hello! First of all I want to thank you for blessing us with this 5 amazing books <3 Now coming to the question, one of my friends is frustrated about the fact that your books lacked the basic foundation and descriptions regarding the characters and the surroundings, their looks and types.I may have overlooked those since I was enjoying and honestly didnt find that a problem but now I want to know more about that? :)
