Checked against Open Library

Each book was looked up in Open Library's record of Sarah J. Maas's works. Where more than one work carries the same title, the one with the most editions was used (if more than three share it, none is picked), and the earliest year printed on any of its editions is shown below as the earliest edition listed in Open Library. Each year links to that edition's record.

Where The Assassin's Blade fits

Book 3 was published third but is set before book 1. Wikipedia puts it this way:

While the book's events are a prequel to the rest of the series, its publication occurred in 2014, after the publication of Crown of Midnight in 2013.
