(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.)
The third book of the Continuing Time series talks about some history that went down when the protagonist was an infant.
The second book of the Continuing Time is from the perspective of a character who lived through that history when he was about ten or twelve.
The first book of the Continuing Time, read third, comes across like a Greek tragedy. OH NO. OHHHHH, NO. I KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING.
(I dunno how I would have felt about the series, read in order. The protagonist of the first book is in many ways not very likeable, about which the later books are entirely clear. I found him easier to take with context.)
