Community Consensus

Medium Debate

"The series is generally marketed as readable in any order, which is confirmed by a library note mentioned in the comments. However, fan consensus strongly suggests a specific starting point to best appreciate the world-building and narrative structure. The first two novellas, 'Empress of Salt and Fortune' and 'When the Tiger Came Down from the Mountain,' are often cited as setting the tone and structure of the series, and reading them first provides the most structurally elegant introduction to the world of Chih, the cleric."

Key Reddit Advice

While the novellas can be read independently, the recommended starting order is the publication order of the first two books: 'Empress of Salt and Fortune' followed by 'When the Tiger Came Down from the Mountain'. After these two foundational stories, the remaining books ('Into the Riverlands,' 'Mammoths at the Gates,' 'The Brides of High Hill') can likely be read in any sequence, though publication order is usually advised.

Why This Order Is Confusing

Many reading lists for Maple Hills conflict because early publishers often labeled short story collections as standalone novels, or rearranged internal chronologies for marketing. This guide follows original author intent and narrative continuity to settle the debate for good.

Can I skip the short stories?

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

I watched the show/movie first — where should I start?

Ignore the screen adaptations' timeline. Start with "Icebreaker - Maple Hills Tome 1 (Édition française)" to see the original depth of the world. The books offer a significantly different (and usually more complete) experience than the on-screen versions.

Why do people disagree on the order?

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.

Patineuse artistique star de l'équipe de Maple Hills, Anastasia Allen vit pour gagner. Son emploi du temps plus chargé que celui d’un ministre ne tourne qu’autour de son sport, laissant peu de place à l’imprévu. Nathan Hawkins, lui, n'a jamais rencontré de problème qu'il ne pouvait pas résoudre. Et en tant que capitaine de l’équipe de hockey, il sait que sa responsabilité est de maintenir l’équipe soudée. Ils ne s’étaient jamais croisés, mais lorsque la patinoire pour le hockey est détruite à la suite d’un malentendu, les deux équipes doivent s’adapter pour partager une seule et même patinoire. Stassie est plus qu’énervée contre cette équipe de hockey qui dérange son planning, mais surtout contre Nate, le capitaine aux larges épaules et au sourire facile en qui elle n’a aucune confiance. A l’inverse, Nate est immédiatement charmé par la furie qui le foudroie du regard à chaque occasion. Mais qu’importe, Stassie est immune au charme des hockeyeurs. N’est-ce pas ?
