   Graveyard of Memories is Rain’s recollection of how his career started. It’s set completely in 1972. So I don’t think the chronological order is the same as the publication order..

     One would think that the reading of whatever books in whatever order would determine for you what you feel is the apparent timeline according to the writing of the story.
