The Valdemar series by Mercedes Lackey. Which order makes chronological sense in the history of Valdemar, not the order they were published

That's more complicated than you might think :) I suggest you go look inside one of them (any one) in the bookshop or library, because they all have a printed timeline in the front.

Answer 2

Dear Reader,
I started out with the first book, about the young girl, Talia, who wanted to be a Herald, and who lived in an oppressive patriarchal society, and went from there. The books that follow Talia as she grows up are a natural sequence. There are books now that precede Talia's tale--but I would read Talia,s story first: it will give you some perspective on the timeline.
I hope this helps...
Sincerely,
Tina
