Read it after you have read Sovereign and The Offering. In Transgression we get to see it all come tumbling down, shuddering in horror and from the terrible, tangible, humanity that started it all.

So I sat down, excited to get more background on the world, ready to cheer for familiar names, even as I prepared to boo and stomp for the usual suspects. Last month I was lucky enough to get to read Transgression, the prequel that promised to tell me just how everything happened. Earlier this year I had the privilege of reading Sovereign and The Offering, the two books that make up the Sovereign Series proper.
