Rachel asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Is there a specific order I should read the books if I've never picked them up before?

Michael J. Sullivan My personal preference is "writing order" which is a slightly modified "publication order" - I say modified because some books were written but due to contractural obligations they were released at a different time then when written. So I suggest:

- Revelations 1 - 6: Theft of Swords > Rise of Empire > Heir of Novron
- Chronicles 1 - 2: The Crown Tower > The Rose and the Thorn
- Legends 1 - 3: Age of Myth > Age of Swords >Age of War
- Chronicles 3 - 4: The Death of Dulgath > The Disappearance of Winter's Daughter
- Legends 4 - 6: Age of Legend > Age of Death > Age of Empyre
- Rise and Fall 1- 3: Farialane > Nolyn > Esrahaddon
- Chronicles 5: Drumindor

Jake Schafer asked Michael J. Sullivan:

(Continuation from my last question since it exceeded the character count) On a different note, will you be adding an add-on list to your kickstarter before it ends so us backers can know what exactly we can get for what price?

Taryn Moreau

Taryn Moreau asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hi Michael. I just finished Age of Myth (the first of your books that I've read), and I absolutely loved it! I wanted to start reading Theft of Swords, but I understand that the characters in your Legends of the First Empire series are referenced as legends in the Riyria Revelations and Chronicles series. Will I get any Legends of the First Empire series spoilers if I read the Riyria series books?

Mike asked Michael J. Sullivan:

Hi Mr. Sullivan, I wanted to tell you that your Riyria series are incredible! I sent you an email several weeks ago, but I think I might have misaddressed it. The world you have created and the characters are simply amazing! Thank you so much for your hard work and efforts. Would love to read more stories featuring Royce and Hadrian, and I'd love to pull up a chair if there is room at the table in the Dark Room?!
