Really struggling to find a good list of which order to read Lackey's books in but this one usually comes up as a good one to start with. Would you agree?

There are a few (exiles honor/valor and such) that are prequels but these were the first written. My suggestion would be read these first by the sword, mage winds, mage storms, exile books, then the rest can be read pretty much in any order. (You don't have to read the owl books series with the res of them and this is the best series out of them all in my opinion) Happy reading!(less)

Ekaterina Polyakova It is completely original, you really should take time to read it.
