Thank you for that link, it was very interesting. I had read Agent Of Change and loved it and then listened to Local Custom which was wonderful.
I then bogged on the whole reading order issue after listening to another of the audiobooks which didn't grab me due to the narrator (I knew I would have to go back and read the ebook of that one).
Your post here, and Sharon Lee's blog post, motivated me to bite the bullet and buy up the whole series (helped by a Kobo coupon!) and I am going to go with the Goodreads order and start at the beginning.
19 books is a lot to chew through, so it will take me a while, but I am glad to have them all, and I hope it keeps the authors going to write more by having bought the later ones in the series now rather than just getting them bit by bit.
