What order should TOG be read in?

It can be quite difficult to determine what order the ToG books should be read. However, I believe "The Assassin's Blade" should be read first. It comes first in the world's time order, and if I hadn't read it before "Throne of Glass," it would've been spoiled. What's your opinion?



I agree with Tova. I read ToG first then read Assassin's Blade because the list I was going by was listed by the year they were written. The whole time I was reading Assassin's Blade I kept thinking, "why wasn't this book before TOG?" So, I personally think Assassin's Blade should go first.


Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire, Assassin's Blade, Queen of Shadows, Empire of Storms & Tower of Dawn (tandem read), Kingdom of Ash.

Reading Assassin's Blade before Queen of Shadows really helps with the storytelling of that book. A lot of the characters carry over and if AB is read at the very beginning you might forget, be less passionate about feelings toward characters, etc.
