Reading Order

[TheToday He/him]

Hi hiiii!

Okay, so I haven't read anything yet since I'm kind of half-way through the Cosmere, and I intend to read the Cytoverse right after that, which probably means I won't start reading the Cytoverse until some point in 2027. But still! I'm an anxious person lol. I love to plan things way ahead of time so my mind is not going crazy about it.

So, I do have a question here! I know the main books and I know there are some short novellas of sorts included in Skyward Flight. And a couple of short works beyond that.

While it seems like a pretty straightforward read through the series, I'd like to know what you people who've read it all in the Cytoverse so far think of this reading order I've been given, specifically regarding when to read each novella and short story.

So this is the order I've been recommended to follow whenever it's time for me to read the Skyward series:

1. Defending Elysium novella
2. Book 1: Skyward
3. Book 2: Starsight
4. Skyward  Flight: Sunreach
5. Skyward Flight: ReDawn
6. Book 3: Cytonic
7. Skyward Flight: Evershore
8. Hyperthief super-short story
9. Book 4: Defiant

Does that make sense to you? Would you change anything? If so, why?

Thanks in advance! I'm all ears.

Well, you know. Eyes.
