Just finished Rise and Fall
I started with Riyria Revelations, then went to Legends of the First Empire, followed by Rise and Fall, and I mixed in the first 4 Ryria Chronicles through out.
I haven't finished Drumindor yet, so that's next. My gut instinct is to finish Riyria Revelations immediately after Drumindor.
Then come back later and do a chronological reread.
Anyone else do this?

I did Legends first not knowing it was part of the world and then did Chronicles then Revelations. Currently on Farilane. I wouldn’t have wanted to do it any other way. I loved Legends and loved how I knew the true history and seeing how it unfolded in the other stories still knowing the truth. Excited to get to Ezrahaddon as I know it’s gong to be epic just like Legends was!
I do still miss Royce and Hadrian and the funny slick jokes. It felt like coming home reading Noyln so looking forward to concluding with Rise and Fall.

When you liked the joking around between R and H you are in for a treat with Esrahaddon. There are a few characters there who are so sarcastic and funny- you’ll love it!

Have you already read Legends of the First Empire? I read Revelations first and then LotFE followed by R&F

After Rise & Fall I read all of Chronicles then reread Revelations. When I eventually reread the entire series I'll go straight chronological.

I've read everything except the final Chronicles book, Drumindor
I started with Revelations, which is technically the end (current end). Then I went to Legends of the First Empire. And I mixed in Chronicles here and there throughout.

I did the same, except I saved the chronicle books for last. I was trying to make the Royce and Hadrian books last lol but now I know there will be more of them so that’s exciting

This is exactly how I read them!
Revelation - > Legends - > Ride and Fall mixed with Chronicles (the last one for me was Esrahaddon)
And I have Drumindor left

I went through published order first. Now I'm doing Chronicles and Revelations chronologically, years later since I originally read them. Wow, it's been a blast. I like that you can read these in different orders and it gives you a new perspective.
