The Urth of the New Sun is a coda/sequel to The Book of the New Sun and should probably be read after that, although some suggest to read it at the very end of the cycle, and others say it's considered optional reading. ![]() However, according to some people you can also start with The Book of the Long Sun the first quadrilogy The Book of the New Sun can really be read whenever you want, but The Book of the Long Sun must be read before The Book of the Short Sun. The consensus for the best order to read these novels in seems to be in this publication order. It is itself a sub-series of the larger series/cycle called the Solar Cycle, Urth or the Briah Cycle, which is probably what my question should've asked about from the beginning. (Comments indicated this question was opinion-based, but as it hasn't been closed, I'll self-answer with the results of my research (thanks to commentators for also providing some information) and invite comments or alternative answers if I'm wrong – I haven't read the books, after all.)įirst of all, what I called The Book of the New Sun is a series consisting of four books, usually published in two volumes of two books each. ![]()
