A reading order for #TheLiadenUniverse, because I want to recommend and endorese the whole series.
one note I: Local Custom might be hard as a first read. Scout's Progress might be easier.
This is not the universe in full chronological order, but this groups the books into some internal arcs that i feel generate appropriate context for the universe as a whole.
It's my personal Machete order, and the order I'm using to introduce @mawr to the series by audio book, since I've been through every book multiple times. It's my most frequent read and comfort series. And I've been reading it again.
Because Sharon Lee's husband, Steve Miller, passed away right around the time I got my hands on the latest eARC.
if you find you got sucked into them, this is also a good order for re-reading to reinforce and create new context for even more enjoyment.
Agent of Change was the first published of the series, in 1985.
I first remember reading Scout's Progress around 2002-2003. I read just Scout's Progress multiple times. It took me until 2006-7 to start reading the others. By then, ebooks were a "thing" and I got my first kindle. I've always had the whole Universe in my inventory for the last decade.
