Not sure if there's a strict 'must' order, but I read 'The Brothers Hawthorne' after finishing the main books and it felt perfect. It gives so much backstory to Jameson and Grayson that I wish I'd had earlier, honestly.

The order is really not that deep. Just enjoy the ride. They're all fun books.

I'd treat 'The Brothers Hawthorne' as a post-series epilogue of sorts. It's nice to revisit the world after the main story's climax rather than interrupting that momentum.

I treat it as deleted scenes that were too good to leave out. You watch the movie first, then you enjoy the deleted scenes with full context.

Check the author's website or social media—she's mentioned the intended reading order before. I think it was main trilogy first, then the novella, but I could be mixing it up with another series.

How do the Inheritance Games novellas fit into the main series order?

4 Answers2026-07-24 01:05:02
The series is a dopamine hit of puzzles and romantic tension. The novellas are like a slower-release dose. They focus less on riddles and more on psychological tension between the characters. If you're reading purely for the "game" aspect, you might find the novellas slower. But if you're reading for the complex, damaged characters and the gothic, money-soaked atmosphere, the novellas are where that stuff shines. They fit into the order by giving you a breather from plot to soak in atmosphere and character. It's a smart way to prevent the series from feeling like just a thriller machine.

Should I read The Inheritance Games novellas in publication or story order

The digital reading experience matters. If you have all the ebooks, it's easy to jump around. If you're relying on physical library holds or purchased copies, you might be at the mercy of what arrives when. In that case, just read what you get when you get it. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Stressing over the 'optimal' order can suck the fun out of starting a fun series. The books are engaging enough that any order will work in a pinch. The most important thing is to start reading something you'll probably love.

I think a lot of people get tripped up because 'The Brothers Hawthorne' has a different protagonist. But it's still a direct sequel in terms of timeline. Read the Avery trilogy first to understand the Hawthorne family, the mansion, and all the games. Then the brother-focused books will hit much harder because you'll already care about them.

The fandom on TikTok has about five different 'correct' orders, each with passionate defenders. There's the 'Chronological Cut,' the 'Emotional Payoff Order,' the 'Pure Mystery Order.' It's a whole thing. I just followed a creator who explained the reasoning behind hers and it made total sense. The discourse is part of the fun.

The perfect way to think about it is as two connected series. Series A: The Inheritance Games Trilogy. Series B: The Hawthorne Brothers Duology. You must complete Series A before starting Series B. There's no overlap or alternative starting points.

Oh, this is such a fun question! The 'Inheritance Games' series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes is one of those addictive reads where the order totally matters—like unwrapping a mystery layer by layer. Start with 'The Inheritance Games', which introduces Avery Grambs and the wild, puzzle-filled world of the Hawthorne family. Then dive into 'The Hawthorne Legacy', where the stakes get even higher and the twists more unpredictable. Finally, cap it off with 'The Final Gambit', the explosive conclusion that ties up all those tantalizing loose ends. If you're a completionist like me, don't skip the novella 'The Brothers Hawthorne'—it’s a juicy deep dive into Grayson and Jameson’s dynamic, though it’s best enjoyed after the main trilogy to avoid spoilers. Trust me, reading out of order would be like solving a riddle backward—possible, but way less satisfying! The way Barnes layers clues and character arcs means each book builds on the last, so savor the ride.

What is the correct reading order for The Inheritance Games series?

Publication order is key, but also consider the format. The trilogy is a complete puzzle. The newer books are like opening a new puzzle box with some of the same pieces but a different picture on the lid. 'The Brothers Hawthorne' requires knowledge of the family dynamics established in the first three books to really hit home. Jumping around would dilute the impact of the character arcs, especially Grayson's. Read them as they were released.

I'm only on the second book, so maybe I shouldn't even be in this thread. Too late now! I'm avoiding spoilers, but from what I gather, there's more after the third book? Good to know. I'm just taking them one at a time as my library hold list delivers them. Seems to be working fine so far.
