Hey Verse Vixens,
For half a decade now readers have asked me what the proper reading order for the Athenaverse books are. I've always demurred because for something as vast and intricate as The Athenaverse there really isn't an appropriate reading order. Depending on what you want (whether its dark, rom-com, or epic) you can find it. There are multiple entry points.
After a lot of thinking, I've finally come to the conclusion that putting the books in chronological order is the best way to come up with a simplified reading order. So here goes.
The books of the Athenaverse are broken up into 6 Ages: 4 billion years ago, a few million years after that, contemporary "now", the near future (2300s), the slightly farther future (2600s), and the far future (millions of years).
Each time period has several books and series that encapsulate it. You can read them in any order but if its a series I would read it from start to finish. But you can pick up any series really.
Whatever has happened before will happen again. And so it works with the Athenaverse - you will see places, people, concepts, and ideas begin in one age and take shape and grow and become truths in another. Then they will become legends as we move to a different age.
If you are really wanting to, you can pick a book or series in each age and read through the ages. There are multiple ways to enter. But once you come in, you'll never want to leave.
