Which order should you listen in?

Publication order, and be warned that Gardens of the Moon drops you into the middle of events with no explanation whatsoever — that is deliberate, not a mistake, and the usual advice is to accept being confused for the first ten hours. Book two switches continent and cast almost entirely. The strands converge, slowly.
