You will need to read all 13 to get the entire story. The last book, Return to the Whorl, does explain most everything, so hang in there.

Hey OG,

Maybe you can help, because I have been confused when I have looked around about what the proper order is to read the Wolfe books (I assume you're talking about the various "Sun" titles).

I read what I believe to be the first books. The ones that start with the protagonist getting kicked out of his executioner home and traveling north (I would use names, but I forget the names). I read what I think was originally four books, but were recently combined into two combos of two books each. But that was as far as I got before I got confused about how best to continue.
