Which order should I read in?

These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends are a self-contained duology. Foul Lady Fortune and Foul Heart Huntsman are also a self-contained duology. However, Foul Lady Fortune is intended to continue expanding on the events of Our Violent Ends for those who want to read on.

Foul Lady Fortune can be understood without reading These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends, so you can start reading from there without any background knowledge. However, you will be spoiled about the events of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends while reading Foul Lady Fortune!

Last Violent Call is a novella collection that bridges together the These Violent Delights duology with the Foul Lady Fortune duology and cannot be read without reading These Violent Delights, Our Violent Ends, and Foul Lady Fortune first. It takes place after the events of Our Violent Ends and during the events of Foul Lady Fortune, to lead into character appearances in Foul Heart Huntsman, which is the final conclusion.
