Okay, so this is a question with a surprising amount of contention, and I've been in the fandom long enough to see all the arguments. Most folks will tell you to read 'Incarnations of Immortality' in publication order—starting with 'On a Pale Horse'. That’s the classic route, and it’s solid. You meet Zane first, Death feels like a natural entry point, and the world unfolds around his journey.
But here’s my weird hill to die on: I tried it chronologically by the in-world timeline once. It’s a mess, honestly. 'For Love of Evil' and 'And Eternity' jump around so much, you lose the thread Piers Anthony was weaving about the nature of office vs. person. Publication order preserves the mystery of how the Incarnation offices work; you learn the rules as each new protagonist does. Stick with 'On a Pale Horse' and just go forward. The later books assume you know the lore, and jumping around spoils some of the earlier reveals, like the true nature of Satan's role.

Honestly? I read 'Bearing an Hourglass' second, and it almost made me quit. It’s so slow and philosophical compared to the straight-ahead plot of 'On a Pale Horse'. If I had to do it again, I’d recommend a modified order: start with 'On a Pale Horse', then maybe skip to 'With a Tangled Skein' for a more engaging story before circling back to Time. The series' tone shifts a lot, and not every book hits the same. Don't feel obligated to power through if one isn't clicking; the connections between them aren't so tight that you'll be completely lost.
Some purists will hate this, but it kept me reading. The later books, especially 'For Love of Evil', are worth it, but the middle section can be a slog if you're not vibing with it.

Publication order, no question. 'On a Pale Horse', 'Bearing an Hourglass', 'With a Tangled Skein', 'Wielding a Red Sword', 'Being a Green Mother', 'For Love of Evil', then 'And Eternity'. The series builds its cosmology in a specific way, and each book introduces concepts the next one relies on. Trying to read 'And Eternity' without the context of the previous six is a recipe for confusion. Just commit to the list as it is.

the publisher that consistently delivers these gems is Del Rey Books. They’ve been behind some of the most iconic fantasy and sci-fi works, and Piers Anthony’s series is no exception. The way they handle the covers and editions makes collecting them a joy. The first book, 'On a Pale Horse,' hooked me with its unique take on Death as a protagonist. Del Rey’s distribution ensures these books are easy to find, whether you’re browsing physical stores or digital platforms. Their reputation for quality really shines here.
I'm deeply skeptical about approaching 'incarnation books' as spiritual textbooks. Spiritual growth is murky and personal; treating one book as a definitive guide feels off to me. I tried a few, and honestly, they often blend recycled new-age ideas with a thin narrative veneer. The danger is taking dramatic, fictionalized accounts of past lives as literal truth, which can sidetrack genuine self-reflection.
That said, I keep coming back to 'The Journey of Souls' by Michael Newton. It's presented as case studies from hypnotherapy, not a novel, and something about its clinical tone made me reconsider my own assumptions about consciousness. It didn't 'grow' me spiritually, but it prompted questions I'd avoided. I'd say read them for curiosity, not for a path. Relying on them for growth is like expecting a map of Paris to teach you French.
Manifestation has this sprawling, almost labyrinthine order that makes binge-watching feel like solving a puzzle. The series started with 'The Awakening,' which introduces the core concept of latent powers emerging in ordinary people. Then came 'The Fracture,' where alliances splinter and the world-building gets deliciously messy. The third installment, 'Convergence,' ties some threads but leaves others dangling for the finale, 'Ascendance.'
What's wild is how each entry shifts tone—'The Awakening' feels like a slow burn, while 'The Fracture' dives into action-packed betrayals. I love how the creators didn't just repeat the same formula. 'Ascendance' especially pays off if you catch the subtle foreshadowing in earlier seasons. The emotional arcs hit harder when you see the full picture.
