My friend gifted me this series, but I'm not sure about his recommendation He bought book all 10 books used during a sale at a bookstore like two years ago. He read the first four books and gave up because of what I assume is a brand new story in book 5

What said to read in this order: DG &gt; HoC&gt; GoTM&gt; MoI&gt; BH&gt; MT&gt; TTH&gt; DoD&gt; TCG

However, after doing my research I'm not so sure, but he insists that's the best way, but he didn't even finish the series.
