Alain asked Michael G. Manning:

Hi Michael. Just picked up all your books to current on a reader-buddy's recommendation. Looks good so I'm wondering where to start. Chronologically? Or by publication? I ask. Thanks.

Michael G. Manning I would read them in order of publication.

Definitely, I would read the Mageborn series first, and then you could read either of the other two series.

When I originally wrote the books, I wrote the first series, and then alternated between writing the prequels and the sequels, so there are some hints and reveals that sort of occur organically between those two series if you alternate between them. Most complete one series before reading the other and they never complain, so I doubt it matters.

TL;DR Read the Mageborn series, then after that read whichever series you want.
