Advice on RJ/AC overlap? - JLM - 09-28-2011
I just finished Bloodline, and I've been through all the previous RJ books. I've got By the Sword, Ground Zero and Fatal Error sitting here waiting, and I plan on buying The Dark at the End when it comes out. I plan to read the Adversary Cycle books, and I see that The Touch and Reprisal fall between Ground Zero and Fatal Error on the timeline. Will it make much difference if I skip these two AC books and finish the last two books in the RJ series before I start into the Adversary Cycle?
I ask because I've been having a harder time putting these things down as I continue through the series, and as I complete each one I'm looking forward the next. I would just as soon finish Jack's story (at least everything preceding Night World) before I backtrack to the Keep and start that series from the beginning, but I don't want to skip over something that is important. Since I started all this with the RJ series I will probably wait until the final Night World version comes out to read that.
I have to say that I've never been one to read a lot of fiction, but I stumbled into FPW a few years ago and I really enjoy his work. IIRC I saw some mention of the LaNague books in a blog thread (probably Reason because I'm there every day). I found a used copy of The LaNague Chronicles and loved all three of the books contained therein, and that led me to RJ. Thanks for hours of entertainment, Mr. Wilson.

Welcome JLM!
Since you've read so far I'd go ahead and finish the RJ series and then move onto the AC. There will be a few mentions of things from The Touch and Reprisal in the RJ books as the events happen simultaneously. Things like the passing mention of a house burning down. Just make sure you have it all read before Nightworld.
Also, since you haven't read By the Sword yet, read Black Wind first.

5 points from Gryffindor for Alvin being an insufferable know-it-all.
He's right though.

Welcome JLM! I agree about Black Wind. Read it before By the Sword. Black Wind is a great read and will help you understand all the things going on in the books you have yet to read in the RJ saga.

And here I thought I was a muggle.
