Should I read NoK or BH next? I know Temper is a common character in both, but I want to get the most out of this experience. These books are amazing. I can't believe I've only recently found them.

To me, NoK isn't worth breaking the flow. I'd say continue on and come back to NoK when you've finished.

I won't talk plot or story points at all, but if you're extra squeamish about even the broadest spoilers then don't read ahead:

Read TBH first if you want your curiosity piqued about NoK and Temper; read NoK first if you want to have the knowledge that TBH winks at. It just depends on what feeling you want to feel. Personally I read TBH first (knowing nothing much about NoK) and I enjoyed the tantalizing feeling that provided.

I read up through BHs. Then I read NoK, then Reaper's Gale, and then RotCG. Then TtHs.

Here I wanted to read Stoneweilder before I read DoD and CG, because I was told to read DoD and CG back to back, but the book store didn't have it, so I bought and read DoD, which lead to CG.

And I now still need to read the rest of ICE from SW up.

[Abyss]

I say read them in published order, which puts NoK ahead of TB.

Most people didn't do this because at the time TB was pub'd, NoK was only available in a limited and expensive release, but that's not a reason any longer.
Also, the handful of nods to NoK in TB are just a tiny bit cooler having read NoK.

I also just finished it and have question (dont want to create new topic).
Can sb tell me why tehol and bugg made their conspiracy against lether? what was the point in making building comapnies or sth like that?

Didn't they say that they wanted to collapse the economy of the city? A revenge of sorts.

[Skrzypek]

ye but i didnt seem that this collapse of the economy has any big influence on the letheras in the end, the empire would fall anyways. for me the whole intrigue was quite useless, although while reading it seemed to be something very big. But i can be wrong, its just my understanig of this issue ;p

Well, events kinda make the idea a moot point. Why collapse the economy? Perhaps because it's blatantly abusive and exploitive, as well as incredibly flawed. Perhaps they were hoping to make some changes.

remember, when the edur invade, tehol decides to hold off on his plans to collapse the economy. it's in there somewhere, probably around the time he sends the shand, hejun, and rissarh off to the islands
