In What Order Do The Land Of Stories Main Novels Take Place?

Loving the Land of Stories books, but the spin-offs and novellas have me scrambling to track the main series' chronological reading order.

My niece was reading them, and she asked if the 'Tale of Magic' books come first. I told her no, those are a different story set in the past. For Alex and Conner's adventure, begin with 'The Wishing Spell'. It's the only entry point that makes sense.

My kid is reading these, and we just follow the numbers on the covers. 'The Wishing Spell' is #1, 'The Enchantress Returns' is #2, and so on up to #6, 'Worlds Collide'. The spines even line up to make a picture. Sometimes the simplest method is the best one.

For maximum emotional payoff, publication order is key. You need to see Alex and Conner grow from book to book. Their relationship, their grief over their father, their increasing responsibility—it all builds linearly. Jumping ahead would ruin the quieter character moments that make the big finale work.

The series really evolves in tone after 'A New Song', when the setting shifts away from Mitford for a bit. Some readers didn't like that change, but reading them in order makes that narrative choice feel necessary. It shows that Father Tim’s world is bigger than one town, even if he always comes back.

The correct order's a bit of a pain to piece together because the short stories are sprinkled throughout. You really want to read 'A Test of Mettle' before 'Hexed', and 'The Chapel Perilous' fits after 'Trapped'. Honestly, the best resource is the author's website; he's got a chronological list that includes all the anthologies. Trying to read just the novels leaves out crucial character beats for Granuaile and Oberon.

Some series have prequels or interquels that complicate reading order, but 'The Land of Stories' is blessedly simple. It's a straight shot from Book 1 to Book 6. No alternate timelines, no spin-offs required for the main plot. Enjoy the simplicity while it lasts!

I tried the chronological order on my second read-through. Reading 'Unlocked' first honestly made 'Lock In' feel slower on the uptake, because the novel patiently re-explains things the prequel just laid out. It created a weird sense of redundancy. It confirmed for me that publication order is the way to go. The novels assume you're learning about the world alongside the protagonist.

The list is pretty definitive, as others have posted. I'd just add that the '...th' format is consistent from book five onward. It's a clever marketing gimmick that makes collecting them in order very easy. No guessing which comes next.
