#I think jumping to RtI is more doable

[ace-artemis-fanartist]

Would you say it's possible to read Romancing the Inventor/Romancing the Werewolf without reading the rest of the Parasol Protectorate series before?

I’m not the best person to ask since I’m an old fan (reading Carriger books since 2011 yaaaaya) and both RtI and RtW are the stories focused on the side characters of Parasol Protectorate. Most of their characterization is built in PP.

Nevertheless, Carriger has set it up so you can read them without reading PP, but the characters that surround them are ones we know from PP, and their connections/relationships to each other may be lost to new readers. So if you jump to them just keep that in mind.
