Library ebook availability might decide for you. Sometimes 'Throne of Glass' is available immediately, but 'The Assassin's Blade' has a waitlist. In that case, just read what you can get.

Don't put off starting the series because of perfect order dogma. Read 'Throne of Glass'. If the prequel becomes available before you finish 'Crown of Midnight', slot it in then. Adaptability is key.

I love a good spreadsheet, so I mapped out both reading orders with page counts. Chronological adds about 450 pages at the start. Publication order inserts those pages after book three, which can feel like a flashback detour.

If you hate flashbacks, go chronological. If you enjoy a narrative that jumps back to fill in gaps, go publication. There's your analytical take.

The sheer length of the series can be daunting. Adding the prequel upfront makes it an eight-book commitment before you even know if you like it.

Starting with the slimmer, more focused 'Throne of Glass' is a lower-investment trial. If you love it, you have a whole collection of prequel stories to look forward to as a bonus. That's a nice feeling.

Wait, people are out here reading these in a different order? I just... read the next one on the shelf. Was I supposed to have a strategy? I feel like I've been playing a game on easy mode without knowing it.
