Kelly asked Kristen Callihan:

Just wanting to start reading the Darkest London books. On your website it isn't clear which one you start first...and on Kobo & here it says that Ember is first...but on the book covers it looks like Firelight is first...which is the first book you wrote or which is the start on the series?

Kristen Callihan The problem with Ember vs Firelight is that you can read in either order. That is to say, Firelight starts with Archer and Miranda, the two main characters, meeting in the prologue then meeting again three years later in chapter one. Ember is a novella that deals with what happened to them during those 3 years they were apart.

Readers have mixed opinions on the order. Some like to read Ember after Firelight. Some think you should read it before. Sorry if that sounds vague but it's the best answer I can give. :)
