Community Consensus
"The series being discussed, often linked to the author Naomi Novik and the protagonist 'El', is a highly praised trilogy. Readers universally agree on the quality of the first book and the sequel (Book 2). The series structure is confirmed: Book 1, The Sequel (Book 2), and The Final Book (Book 3), which is highly anticipated and expected for release later this year/fall."
The recommended reading order is strictly sequential: Start with the first book (the one being discussed, implied 'Perfectly Imperfect'), followed immediately by the sequel (Book 2). Readers are strongly advised to note that both the first book and the sequel end on cliffhangers, requiring a wait for the conclusion (Book 3).
