I'll Never Recommending Reading Anything but in Order

The books are not actually written as stand alone. Some of them require more or less background, but all are informed by what comes either before or after. Even numbered books in the series mostly take place outside of a portal world. The odd numbered books take place back where all the characters ike are in i don't know what the real world is. Proei wat one thing anoe encourages people to make? It's nota testeevenusuvi, i think.
