@deinol 1, 3, 2, 4 is absolutely valid, I’ve considered doing that order on a re-read. The fun fact about book 1 of House of Chains is that the author wrote it to prove a point to a critic who said that he couldn’t write from a single character’s perspective 😂 but it also works for that story in my opinion as well.
Is this a re-read for you or have you not finished the Book of the Fallen yet? I’m skeptical about including the Esslemont books before finishing the BotF, but I know some like it
