Community Consensus

High Debate

"The comments analyze several distinct series. For the Paksenarrion/Gird books (Legacy of Gird, Paladin's Legacy), the strong recommendation, prioritizing impact and quality, is to read the highly praised Paladin's Legacy (PL) immediately after the original trilogy while the characters are fresh. The Legacy of Gird prequels (Surrender None, Liar's Oath) are viewed as lower quality and optional, best reserved for later or skipped. For Dragonlance, the consensus starting point is Chronicles 1-3, followed by Legends, then Dragons of Summer Flame. A strong recurring rule of thumb across all series is to follow publication order."

Key Reddit Advice

For the Paksenarrion series: Read the Original Trilogy, then proceed directly to Paladin's Legacy (PL). Read the Legacy of Gird prequels only if interested in specific backstory elements (like the Kolobian problem) or Gird's life, knowing that they are tragic and often considered a 'mixed bag.' For Dragonlance: Start with Chronicles 1-3, jump to Legends, then read Dragons of Summer Flame.
