There are plenty of books that belong to a coherent universe. I’ll often progress through these series in chronological order, writing reviews about the individual parts. To gain a sense of the series as a whole, I have collected many of these series here. Hopefully, this should make the individual parts of the series easy to find, identify the strong parts of the series, and give a sense of the series as a whole.
