Please let me clarify my question here: I know that, being a prequel, chronologically the book is set before the Saga of Shadows trilogy.
However, often it's better to go with publication order, for a better reading experience and/or to avoid spoilers.
But reviewer Celeris at Amazon said the following:
I read "Whistling Past the Graveyard" after completing the "Saga of Shadows." As a result, I honestly felt that many of the details were wasted on me, since I'd experienced them through flashbacks/character back story in "Saga of Shadows.
[...]
I don't know how this novella would sit with me if read between the "two sagas"
So I'm wondering how other readers felt and what reading order they'd recommend to someone reading the books for the first time.
Thanks!
