I have some series I read out of order, most notably Daniel Keys Moran's Continuing Time books. We definitely used to be more tolerant of that in the days before ordering books off the internet, and in some ways I think it's a lost skill.
That makes me think of the movies I saw as a child which picked up wherever my parents had managed to hit record on the VCR, which is how I did not know for decades that Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) had either a Halloween setting or a prologue.
(I did once screw up a series by reading the back half first, but it makes too good a story for me to feel bad about it.)
I was not aware -- thank you!
You're welcome! If you can read it, I look forward to hearing how it is.
