Fantasy
THE THREE WORLDS SERIES
Ideally, I suggest that readers begin this series with The View from the Mirror and read the books in the order shown below, which corresponds to both publication order and the chronological sequence of the Three Worlds tale.
You can also begin with The Well of Echoes (a largely independent story to The View from the Mirror and set about 200 years later, though with some common characters), in which case I'd recommend that you next read The Song of the Tears, which continues on in the world of The Well of Echoes but ten years later.
