In fact, for a while, Jacques wrote the stories wildly out of chronological order, though in his final years, he set each book further ahead in time than the last one. Most are complete stand-alone stories, so they can mostly be read in any order. The books take place across a vast time period that may span centuries (it's difficult to tell since the characters measure time in ill-defined "seasons").
