I actually did this for Tavi's chapters. I have a list somewhere that shows what order I need to read the chapters in to only read the story that includes Tavi. It is a lot of fun to read his entire adventure in one fell swoop.

THIS i put post it notes on the first page of each chapter that started a characters perspective, like all of Tavi's chapter had a green post it note at the start, and all of Amara's had a blue post it. works like a charm.

when the show came out i caught about half of the episodes. then forgot about it. a year or 2 later I saw you tube hosting the whole season with ads every 10 min so i watched the ones i missed. got hooked and re watched the whole tv series again. then I saw in the comment section someone moaning "omg book bob is so much better this guy sucks!" now i love the Tv bob but I hadn't even known about the books until then so I went to the library they had only once copy of i think proven guilty turns out like NONE of the libraries in my area ad the full set but they all had one or two. so i asked them to ship me a copy of storm front having read the little page in the on copy they did have that listed them. a week later they call me to come get it... it was the graphic novel volume 1  -____-; but i took it anyway while the library got the right book to come in. after storm front i wen and got the next three at one and read them in a week. i was in junior year at high school ( 3 years ago) and people kept getting surprised that I had a new book every other day. i manged to get the last current books in the series in once trip to 3 different libraries in 2 different towns. (death masks-turn coat) at finished them over Christmas vacation. a year later i bought the whole series as a Christmas present to my self.

just this summer I bought the Dvd of the tv series I was with my friend at the time and I was trying to get him into the series so on the way home I just told him to take the Dvds and get back to me in a week. he was hooked in a week and I gave him Storm front when he gave me the Dvds back. he's on dead beat now.

was there. had fun. bought a copy which i wasn't going to d but did, took a picture so i have pics that it happened. now to wait for the next shot. hopefully he does Hartford sometime.

funny thing, but I'm a big James Marsters fan.. and google told me, hes reading Jim's books - did I ever had a chance to resist the urge to get more info?
so, here I am, having all 11 novels on my smartphone/mp3 player - as a sort of "zen for every day" excercise... and running out of stuff to read/listen while waiting for Ghost Story,

btw, for all the paper back readers - check it out, in my humble opinion, James Marsters (aka Spike from Buffy, for the TV series challenged) did absolutely fantastic reading and, seems like, enjoy it a lot.

and, if we go into the dark side - Jim and his books did help me to get over the probably my worst (2010) year in my whole life since I realized myself as a huNam being.

just a big "Thank You!" and  very deep bow - I know it may not seem like a lot, but its from the living heart!

if it's any inclination of how great a job James Marsters did on his readings, i felt you would like to know that when ever i read one of the books now i'm always reading with his voice in my head. i have Side Jobs and changes in audio and the rest in paperback, i just started rereading the whole thing in anticipation of Ghost Story like a month ago, i'm on dead beat and the reread has been like that, it has made me able to picture Harry a bit clearer now too, more human with personality you know?

I am making an assumption that FoC takes place at the same time as our own time.
That means that FoC takes place in 2004 AD (or CE)

I would like to flush this out more so posts and I will update as more info comes in I am stopping at the start of Furies of Calderon as we know what happens from there on out

Thaks Priscilla for the correction (but what are the odds that it was exactly between us)

it's sort of bugging me that  the time line is still stating that first Calderon was 15 years before second Calderon, it was said in the first book and has been discussed that the battle happened earlier and Isana lied about Tavi's age, and he was born during the battle. The time line should note that it happened about 16-17 years before FoC
