Recent book order question (Darkness vs City of Light)

[Thoridon]

A quick question for those who’ve read the latest BA books. Which way round is it best to read Darkness in the Blood and City of Light? Assuming all the previous books have been read.

 

Without any spoilers, does one of the books precede the other in the timeline? Does one of them refer to events that haven’t yet happened in the other?

 

Just checking before I start on one. I’m thinking City of Light is the one to go with first as it was fully released when Darkness only had the limited edition but you never know.

 

Ta!

Ive seen that technically City of Light follows the events of Darkness, though I havnt read City of Light so Im not certain. I hope this isnt a huge spoiler, but Mephiston crosses the Rubicon in Darkness, so I assume City of Light is him using these new Primaris powers.

Darkness in the Blood comes first. I've not read it as I dont think it's widely available, but some of the stuff Mephiston goes on about in CoL only make sense if you have an idea of what happens in DitB.

Excellent, thanks both :) Just what I needed to know.

 

Darkness in the Blood next it is!

Good luck finding it, keen to know of your success - on Amazon the paperback is ETA August 2021, and I dont think BL did a digital version.

I got myself the special edition in the box when it was up for preorder, I just haven't read it yet. Finishing the 2nd Mephiston book and then I'll start that one.

 

I've been slacking on the reading this year.
