If you enjoy reading books that combine elements of dystopian societies, political intrigue, and characters with unique abilities, then you’ll want to read the Red Queen books in order.
It’s recommended to read the Red Queen books in publication order. However, there are also novellas that can be read in chronological order between the main four books.

What is the Red Queen Series About?
The Red Queen series is a young adult fantasy book series written by Victoria Aveyard. The series is set in a dystopian world divided by blood colour, where those with silver blood possess superhuman abilities and oppress the red-blooded commoners.
The story follows Mare Barrow, a red-blooded girl who discovers she has unique abilities despite her common blood. This revelation puts her in a dangerous position as she becomes entangled in the political and social unrest between the Reds and Silvers.
Is Cruel Crown part of the Red Queen series?
Cruel Crown combines together the first two novellas, Queen Song and Steel Scars. If you have Broken Throne, there’s no need to read or buy Cruel Crown. Broken Throne includes both of these novellas, along with three others, in the collection.
What order should I read the Red Queen novellas?
You can read the novellas in the Red Queen series in any order, but for a chronological sequence, consider starting with Queen Song and Steel Scars. Both of these novellas precede the events of Red Queen.
