Which order should you listen in?

Publication order. The first four were conceived as a quartet, one per season, and work best read as one. Too Good to Be True is a short Quick Reads novella that Audible numbers between Thin Air and Cold Earth; it is optional. The Killing Stones returns to Perez after Wild Fire, so save it for last.
