Whether or not a reader will enjoy the tandem read format depends entirely on several factors:
1. Doing the tandem read involves point of view (POV) switches between four primary characters, as well as switches from third person POV to first person POV between books.
2. The books are very different in tone. Book 4 is darker. Some advanced readers welcomed the shift in tone to break up the darker feel of Book 4, while some readers found it more difficult to shift.
3. Doing the tandem read will put you ’in the know’ the whole time, while readers who do the sequential read may have unanswered questions at the end of Book 3 as they go into Book 4.
The author does not recommend reading one way over the other.
The reader should decide what works best for them.
