The author's writing would have changed so dramatically I don't think I would get the full benefit of being able to see an author's skill grow as she published each book.
What do you think?  |
I prefer chronological order, if at all possible. I've re-read most of Anne McCaffrey's Pern series in chron order, and it was very satisfying. I plan to do that with Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover series, as well.
