Ultimate Guide to the Throne of Glass Series Reading Order

The ultimate guide, showing you three distinct methods exist for reading this series: Publication Date, Chronological Order, also referred to as the purist order, Romantic Order, and Emotional Order. The key distinction lies in the placement of The Assassin’s Blade within the series. Oh, and a Tandem Read

Tandem Read with Empire of Storms (EoS) and Tower of Dawn (ToD)

Both Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn occur simultaneously, with Empire of Storms focusing on Aelin, Rowan, Manon, Dorian, and other characters, while Tower of Dawn follows Chaol and Nesryn on a separate journey meeting new characters.

Tower of Dawn is essential to the series as it provides important clues for Kingdom of Ash and the overall storyline. Including clues for the rest of the SJM Universe.

Empire of Storms concludes with a significant cliffhanger, so a tandem read of both books is recommended to avoid being left hanging at the end of Empire of Storms.
