I almost envy you taking this ride for the first time, it is such a thrill ride. But on the other side, the second, fifth, even tenth time throught this series is just as good.:grin:

Right, it keeps getting better with every read. :)

Book three - best of all Necrobooks :) This thread makes me want to read them again :)

[james1984]

i disagree...book 2 was better then 3 as was 4 in my opinion...thats just me...i really enjoyed book 2 actually...

I don't know you Nadir Sago...but when i first read them...i read them by the way they go chronologically as in the time line not how they were written...thats how my mom suggested readin them...when she first read them herself she read them in order and said the Lost yrs should be read after Vamphyri or Wamphyri book 2...even tho there are some spoilers...i was spoiled at all...i was more intriqued...b/c those minor details made me wanna read that much more

thats...Necro 1, 2...lost yrs 1 and 2...Necro 3-5.. the touch should go here actually...then of course the Vampire world trilogy...6-8... and then the E-branch trilogy...11-13....of course all the short stories take place after lost yrs pt 2...but the decision lies with u

[Nadir Sago]

Bout half way through book 2 now.........what to do..........any suggestions from anyone else????.......Source or Lost Years??????

[Numasthrall]

I'm a traditionalist,read them as they were written.Tis up to yourself of course but for me the lost years are fill ins:eek:.
Thats taking nothing away from them cos they're class,but they were written after the fact imo and while hugely enjoyable nothing in them changes anything in the Nec saga so should be read as written.......hope that helps and not confuses:)

[kenny]

Read as they were written, i did and was not disapointed.

[sdkdmd]

As written

[james1984]

like i said i read them with the lost yrs next...book 2 and 3 take place 7 yrs apart...i tried reading the source after book 2 and when i noticed so many yrs had past i had to stop b/c i wanted to know what happened during those 7 yrs. True they don't change anything but add alot more to it...in my opinion readin them after Bloodwars doesn't seem to fit and u know maybe Brian had it like that 2 be read like that....i've seen some authors do that b4...write a couple books and then go back and write a book between them....its happened in the Stars Wars series all to often...don't read them as they are written but read them in the time-line of the books...

True there were some changes in the Lost yrs i noticed from a certain other book but it was minor change and not that big of deal

As for reading them in a specific order...most here read them as they are written, i'm not like everyone else, and after i was done reading all 13 books, i was happy with reading them the way i did. Read them as you see fit...

[Nadir Sago]

Thanks to all for the advice...........think will read them as written, as is the only real way to experience the flow as someone who read the from day 1, anxiously awaiting the release of the next book...........even if the timeline is a bit out of whack.

[pauwen]

I suggest you read the first five first. You won't missing anything if you read lost world afterward as he has written each book with explanations. I haven't had any problems.

[laineh72]

Do as I have done and read them probably about 30 times (each). Drives the mrs crazy but there is always some small detail that you will pick up on and realize oh ok thats why that is like it is. not just in necro series but also mythos (titus crow) and houses of doors.

[james1984]

its not ment to cause any problems its just to read them in the timeline instewad of order...oh well i hope you enjoy the rest of the books

[John & Paul]

Well I really do envy new people starting this series from scratch as it's an awesome read and an awesome ride...but I suppose it's good re-reading as you know the characters much better the second time around and the third and the fourth lol
John

[james1984]

lol...the first time i read them i sort of memorised alot of the characters in fact i could probably recite half the information in the books without lookin at them especially bout the Ferenczy's my most favorite branch of the vampires..i haven't read them in a while kinda busy with EU of Star Wars, I have so many questions regarding the Ferenczys and I just hope they can be answered one day
