Throne of Glass Reading Order

The Throne of Glass series is relatively straightforward. All you have to do to read it is start with the prequel novel, which is a collection of short stories, before moving on to the seven novels that make up the main series. This means starting with The Assassin’s Blade, continuing with Throne of Glass and its subsequent books, and, finally, ending with Kingdom of Ash. By following each book in order, you will understand the entire Throne of Glass narrative.

The only complication comes if you read the short stories separately. The Assassin’s Blade packages together all of the short stories together in one easy to read package, so we recommend reading the short stories though this book. However, if you are reading them individually, you need to read them in the order listed below, starting with The Assassin and the Pirate Lord and ending with The Assassin and the Empire. Make sure to read them in order, as they tell a cohesive story that won’t make sense out of order.
