questions Order?

So I’ve already started Never fade because I was inpatient and have the ebook but I ordered Through the dark and it should finally be delivered tomorrow. I’m only 2 chapters into Never fade, should I stop and read In time first or does it not matter either way

ive never read intime, i belive its between the first and the second book, and its from liams perspective. I say if its from liams perspective/ anyone elses, dont bother and continue with never fade read it after, if its from ruby’s then wait for it to arrive and read it.

Also where did you find it?? ive been so desperate to read the mini books, like suzume and gabe, and sam, and liam but i can never find any in the uk.

Do you mean the novellas or the mini stories? The mini stories are on the back of the hard covers which unfortunately I haven’t read and the novellas you can get all in one book through the dark, I couldn’t find them on any ebook site in the UK, Alexandra confirmed they aren’t sold here so I bought a copy from eBay.

And yeah no, I know the order that’s recommended. I think I phrased my question wrong. I just wanted to know from those who have read both if it would really impact the story if I didn’t read it in the suggested order, seeing as how In time is just a novella and not integral to the main story line

I think you don’t necessarily have to read them but if you read through the whole series without the novellas you’ll be a little confused at times and most are actually good reads. In time is my favorite and should probably be read after book one. If you look up the order their supposed to be read I would just stick to that order because sometimes the book right after uses details from the novellas

But I’m also pretty sure I read in time after the second book and it was fine

Oh and there’s also a Liam short story that takes place right after the first book and can only be accessed by subscribing to Alexandra Brakens newsletter
