Book order question

[morfowt]

that still doesn't mean that's when it happened in the book.

It just makes more sense to read them in publishing order...We learn Elfangor's story of how he created Visser Three and then became Tobias' father after we find out he's Tobias' father in the regular series. It just makes more sense.

I'm not saying that it is, I'm saying that's when it should be read

[Slushie Man]

First time through, yeah, they need to be read in publishing order. But upon re-reading the series, after having already read it, I'm finding chronological order is a lot of fun, cause you already know all the information anyway, so it's not like you're not finding it out when K.A. didn't want you to or anything. But for your first time reading the series, then yeah, I suggest publishing order.

you mean before right? we dont find it out in the reg series til 23, which i like better that way

i agree publishing order is the way to go, i especially like how visser 3's story kinda goes backward, we start with him as all powerful v3, then we see him as subvisser with ambitions of getting an andalite host (TAC), then we see him as a hostless yeerk and his first andalite encounter(HBC). Hes really got a great story. The same is kinda said about the yeerks as a whole, as we go back through their story.

And obviously its great how we get to assume certain things about the characters and then have things changed up in the chronicles, especially TAC and TEC

[ANItiger13]

Yeah...I did. Hmm...

[Slushie Man]

The story that's being told in Visser, not the court room stuff, but the story within the story, the flashbacks if you will, where do they take place in relation to the rest of the Chronicles inner stories?

[RYTX]

her flashbacks are shortly after Andalite chronicles, she goes to check out the supposed class 5 species a sub visser met on the Taxxon planet
via Chapman no less

so in between TAC and book 1

[Slushie Man]

When does Megamorphs 1 take place? Is it between Books 7 and 8?

[RYTX]

yes
