Technically yes, but we strongly advise against it for Fey Academy for Spies. The shorter volumes often establish the core character motivations and world-building that the main saga assumes you already know.

Ignore the screen adaptations' timeline. Start with "Avalon Tower" to see the original depth of the world. The books offer a significantly different (and usually more complete) experience than the on-screen versions.

Disagreement usually stems from the conflict between purely chronological order and publication order. Most long-term fans recommend publication order to preserve the emotional arc and mystery reveals.
