About Reading Order
Reading Order is built for readers who just want a clear path through a series without digging through search results, forum threads, or publisher pages. The goal is simple: make it easy to see what comes first, what comes next, and how it all fits together.
Why this site exists
Many readers have run into the same problem: picking up a book and discovering it’s book three, trying to gift a series and not knowing where to start, or wanting to reread in the proper order but not being sure which list to trust.
This site grew out of a simple passion for helping people enjoy stories without the frustration. It’s designed to be a calm, reliable place you can open in a browser, type an author or title, and immediately see a clean, organized reading order.
What you’ll find here
- Series reading order – numbered from book one onward, so you can start in the right place.
- Publication years – to show how a series has unfolded over time.
- Clear book links – quick ways to jump out and learn more about a specific title or find a copy.
- Notes on tricky orders – when publication and in-world chronology differ, pages will call that out or provide a separate list.
The emphasis is on clarity over clutter: clean typography, consistent layout, and a straightforward search experience.
How the information is kept current
The underlying database is updated over time as new authors and books are added, and existing series are extended. Entries may be reviewed when:
- New books are released in an ongoing series.
- Alternate titles or new editions appear.
- Readers report a missing, mis-ordered, or mis-labeled book.
When something is wrong—whether it’s a missing title or a date that doesn’t match your copy—the intention is to correct it as quickly as possible so the site remains a dependable reference.
