Twelve books in one continuity, and two screen versions that share nothing with each other or with much of the story.
Start with the first book and read straight through all twelve. Publication order and story order are the same, and the only real instruction is not to jump ahead to Bloodlines, because its opening premise gives away how Last Sacrifice ends.
Seen some of these already? Tap the circles to tick them off. The full list below fills in as you go.
Rose Hathaway narrates all six. Sydney Sage, who narrates the next series, is introduced in book four, so the handover is set up long before it happens.
A direct continuation in the same continuity, beginning after Last Sacrifice, with Sydney under Alchemist scrutiny and assigned to protect a character whose existence is a consequence of that ending. Rose, Dimitri, Lissa, Christian, Adrian, Jill and Eddie all recur.
Ten episodes, better reviewed than the film, and the stronger screen version. It is a loose reimagining rather than an adaptation of any one book, and it ends without resolution.
Then what? Two short stories slot in cleanly: Sunshine anywhere after book three, and Homecoming after Last Sacrifice and before Bloodlines, since it is set in exactly that gap. The two graphic novels retell books one and two and are supplementary. The Ultimate Guide contains spoilers through book five, so save it. The 2014 film adapts only the first book and is a curiosity rather than a starting point.
A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.
Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.
Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.
All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.
Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
Removes everything ticked here, in this browser. If you are signed in it clears on your other devices too. If you are not, there is no other copy and this cannot be undone.
Your email is confirmed and your account is ready. Everything you tick is saved on this device, as it always was.

Nothing else happens until you follow the link. If it has not arrived in a few minutes, look in your spam folder and search for SagaList. It is sent from a no-reply address on our own domain, so there is nothing to reply to.
Both addresses get an email: the new one to confirm it, and the old one so that nobody can move your account without you knowing. Nothing changes until you follow the link.
Signing out leaves everything you have ticked on this device exactly where it is. It only stops it syncing.
This removes your account, your email address, and the progress stored on our side. It cannot be undone and we cannot get it back for you.
Nothing is charged and nothing is cancelled, because SagaList does not take payments. What goes is your account, your email address and the progress synced to our side. What stays is everything ticked in the browser on this device.
