Best order to read Sun books?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

For various reasons it's hard to place the New Sun series chronologically. 
But in any event I think it still works slightly better to read the New Sun 
books first.

Not that it makes a huge amount of difference. The connections between the 
New Sun books and the Long/Short Sun books are not especially impressive on 
first reading. And, of course, the second time through the order won't 
matter.
