Can someone tell me where to start?? Should I start with The Tomb or The Early Years Trilogy or with the Young Jack books? It's all a little confusing :) TIA

David I read them all based on the Goodreads order, but the problem with that is that Wilson wrote some of the prequel novels with the idea that the reader would be familiar with the adult Jack. In retrospect, I recommend reading The Tomb, then the Young Jack books. You could then decide to read the Early Years trilogy, or read the rest of the regular RJ series and pick up the Early Years as filler. If you're going for the entire Secret History of the World arch, it is also helpful to read Demonsong, Black Wind, The Keep and The Touch before diving in past the first RJ book. Aside from that, just go with the order suggested by the author.

Asteropê The author gives a suggest reading order here:

I've seen a few different suggestions besides that one.

I'm going to say, it's probably not necessary to start with the prequels. I tried to Google this myself and there were differing opinions.

Also, you can start with The Tomb or you can do what I'm doing it start with The Keep.

I'm going based off this order:
